Truck driver b.s.

Happy humpday! Have a good one drivers.

 

This is one of those mornings that I could just stay in bed........oh well let's get her done.

 

It's FRIYAY, the 13th...........

 

Something you don't hear about on the news much is about diesel fuel, not just the cost of it which is the highest its ever been and expected to go even higher, but if you will even be able to get it soon. Not only will this cause empty shelves in the stores like we haven't seen since the great depression. But will us truckers even have a job to go to?

 

Piblic transportation will also be sidelined, school buses won't run, and emergency services won't be able to respond. Those who rely on diesel anyway. They might take priority on diesel deliveries, and that will make it all the worse for everyone else that rely on diesel, which is everyone.

 

Haul for me starts tomorrow. This one with the 15 horse trailer I believe.

 

Kinda worried I’ve forgotten since it’s been so long.

 

Yup, lying in bed drinking coffee with my girl and the cats are taking turns for pets. A nice Sunday morning.

 

Sometimes I hate being right. Back from my vacay and guess what, truck is back in the shop. sitting here jump starting a truck because some dumb shit left the key on.

 

Rain ending here this morning and then it'll clear out and cool down for a few days. Be safe drivers.
Uhg, it's Monday, more coffee.......

 

Nap time.

 

Had to meet up with another driver who was having problems with his tractor and swap. 2021 international automatic. What a giant turd of a truck! Think it had just a brain fart as it worked fine for me.

 

Our haul is done. Freightliner wouldn’t start so we were stuck with the Ram and one less horsie. Got er done though. More hauls later, first gotta fix the semi. Possible crank position sensor trouble, smoke out of the stack.

 

Well my days have been a little shorter now that we finally have another driver. I'm enjoying it while I can because I know it probably won't last. 1 day at a time. Still able to get fuel.........

 

Meh, you got 17 more...

 

Got me in one of the International automatics. Not as bad as the other one, but still. Keep trying to clutch/shift.

 

There is definitely a learning curve to the automatics. I've driven many of them, the newer ones are better than the early ones, and the Allison's are way better. I know all about stomping on the missing pedal, lol. I'm in a basic 10 speed now that shifts really good, old truck but a good one, no Def.
