When we changed our idle policy at least they wIll buy a hotel room until you can get to a dealership, geeze no way I’d sleep in a 100 degree rig.

Ya know what grinds my gears? All the #### different versions of taillight wiring that exists. What was wrong with the standard 3 pin tail light. The trailer I’m pulling has two lights that barely work and they are this #### male pin style that nobody carries.
Lonesome Thanks this. -
One thing it deters is theft. We use to haul glass to Laredo and drop it at a freight forwarder yard and a Mexican carrier would take the load over and unload it and bring the empty back to the Lonestar yard. Every time I went down there you had to inventory all your gear to make sure it didn't disappear. You could tell when they were needing a light because they would pull them out, realize they were the backwards plug and leave them dangling.Last edited: May 25, 2024

Oh look
What you're not seeing is my little amber engine shaped night light. When it first started coming on, every time I started my truck, I would get a pop-up on the display telling me I had an engine fault. Then, it quit telling me about the fault, but the light stayed on. Yesterday, it started telling me about the fault again. This morning I started my truck to move to a safer spot to finish my 34 and ta-da...the light went away. So, that tells me that I am going to Arlington after I get empty in SoCal...because it doesn't want any shop to know it has a problem.Lonesome Thanks this. -
Is this even legal? A piggyback tractor with stacked chassies...I didn't think the attachment point that holds the piggyback truck on was that strong.(And only a cross chain in the front and back, then one chain in the middle)Last edited: May 26, 2024

Now they wanted to save on the hotel and driver sitting pay expense. So they use 2 trailers. You bring to Laredo, drop the trailer and go pick up the trailer that went over the last time. Sometimes that was last week or several weeks ago. Now they steal all the good tires and put bald tires on, siphon out all the fuel to the reefer, along with the glad hand seals…
Glad they are saving on the hotel room.
I don’t think it even happens in Mexico. I think it happens in Laredo while it sits for days or even weeks…DonRobbie, kylefitzy, wulfman75 and 1 other person Thank this.
