    All O/O reputations suffer when some jughead does something like this. He looked like a jughead. His tractor looked like a jughead, and he drives like, well, a jughead. He's dirty, clothes dirty, tractors dirty, trailer was dirty.

    I was at a card lock recently, the two teenage kids they had to cleanup around the fuel islands. They were using the window squeegee to clean the pumps. So now I know why I get diesel on my windshield.

    I've made it a habit checking the locking jaws before moving. I also check my release handle before I get into my truck everytime even if I left it unattended for a minute. Never know what jerk has it out for you. Now that I drive for a smaller company I don't worry as much but the company before i always looked out for that crap.
