Well, I think Im starting to feel better, but now its time for bed, but Im not tired.
Gonna be a long night and day I think.

 

Worked for quite a few Auto Club tow companies

Seal Beach Union76

El Cajon towing

C & D Towing La Mesa .ca

C& D Towing I drove a medium duty truck and did a lot of motor home tows plus med duty trucks

 

Oh, I thought maybe you'd worked for one of the Berdoo outfits. I did time at Al Wilson, Tri City, and Big Z.

 

Good Morning Folks!

 

Good morning everyone

 

Ugh

 

yes I slept well last night. Have to go in today for OT.

 

Morning all...

 

Being looked at over my shoulder is a no no with me.
Thats why I quit towing. (Well one reason)

One guy I use to talk to was a truck driver.
They installed this shit in his truck .
After a month they called him in and analyzed his driving.
Wrong gear here, to fast here, excessive jake here. To long in this gear.
One street over from the ideal route.
Excessive idling.
The guy was very rude to him and basically said he didn't know how to drive.
Yea like after like 20 years with no accidents.
So he calmly reached over the desk ,grabbed the dude, picked him up, pulled him over the desk, and something happened but he only said it was his turn to talk.
He quit OTR for them and went on his own. Haven't heard from him in years now but just shows how a company wants to run your whole life now.

 

Guns, Covfefe and Cigars
Gonna spend some quality time with an old friend

Morning

 

Yep morning again

 

I stayed out of the company car program for this reason, but they only look at when you arrive at your first call and when you get home.
At first they called people every time you went over 70, they had to stop that. They told us no idling, except when the temp is 100. But if you select onsite before you turn off the engine, it thinks you are still driving, so they don't look at that. Someone in upper management was sold on the idea. Spend millions to save pennies.

PennDot equips many of their plow trucks with 'Automated Vehicle Location' system (AVL) and you can view where the trucks are during a snowstorm, among other data. Two years ago @ our Union negotiations (PASSHE is covered by the same contract) the State was poor mouthing stating the State was broke. The PennDot guys went postal on the State reps saying you can spend 30K a truck for the AVL, but can not give the rank and file a raise? The comment of striking in February of that year came up. Needless to say, we got our raises.... http://www.penndot.gov/TravelInPA/Winter/Pages/Plow-Tracking.aspx

 

Welcome Jim, Nashua, there's a name I haven't heard in years, used to work with Nashua computer storage devices. I don't think they do that anymore, in fact I think Cenevo just bought them a few years back.

Anyway, keep the kids off the lawn.

 

@Cypherian raining hard last night so had the dogs inside to feed. 5 feet apart with a gate in between them. Not a peep out of either just eating and then sitting after waiting on after dinner carrots for desert. Getting closer and closer. Think I've said it before you give good advice. Thanks we are getting there. I think...
