Truck driver b.s.

We flipped a trailer with super’s so all the trailers are duels. And great cause like yesterday I can limp it out to a shop and we don’t have a 100$ tire call out

 

Very few care anymore about the quality of the work they do.

In the days past there would have been many phone calls before your truck left that shop.

 

Woah ohhhhhh livin' on a prayer…

 

Well the exhaust leak seems better, not sure if it's gone entirely. Clutch pedal is sticking like a bitch.
New windshield is on order. At least my back is happy because I got my seat back.
Have a good day drivers.

 

Fun day for me, got to run the RGN. Loader in the morning then skid steer, plate compactor, and trench box for an excavator, and rounded out the day with a dozer. Tomorrow picking up out 228 excavator and that’s oversized so banners and beacons.

 

Thursday, 2 1/2 more days to my week.
Clutch pedal still sticking but it's still a way better truck than the pos international. My old freightliner shifts much better with its shorter throw, turns tighter, and the seat is way better. Old springer beats the shit out of me though, lol. It'll knock my coffee cup out of the cup holder.

 

My truck found its way back to the shop, cool! Will be waiting for me Sunday night, unless something breaks from just sitting.
First, if you're going to replace a fog, do them both, the other one is busted up as well. I'm suprised it still works. And secondly, check to see if replaced light/lights work.

 

I can't believe the crappy work we get on our trucks. Seriously is it to much to ask to fix them right the first time?

 

Lets hope you keep it for sometime.

 

It's FRIYAY! But I have to work tomorrow, it's my weekend. I don't know why they insist on working us on the weekends, there's really not that much work.
Last weekend they made a guy come in for one load, he was done in 2 hours

 

Never fails dispatch promises Saturday Pick up to get the freight .

To pick that freight it a day in the red it sure looks good on paper till the numbers are figured .

 

Well Saturday morning 6 am start time. Rain all day until about the time I get off. That's ok it'll wash the salt away from the roads.

 

Almost 8 hours today. That kinda sucked, I was the last one to leave.

 

Weekends should be reserved for emergencies only for most businesses. I’m sure there’s a contract somewhere that requires the availability but should only be emergency only.

 

You gotta stop hanging out at the chicken house!

 

Speedway Us62-I24


Although the trailer is currently at a coop on i16 before Savannah, so you got a point


Can’t park a 90 footer anywhere and it takes patience and a lotta work to wanna drive in reverse without the pin shattering on the stinger

 

I worked many weekends as a Mill wright Start Friday at 1700 finish up 0700 Monday .

If I was driving The last Thing I would want is to be forced to sit all weekend bad enough dumping Friday and not reload till Monday.

Being local I can understand the reasoning.

 

Monday morning, need coffee.........

 

One of those days where the miles seemed extra long.
