Well guys my day was terrible I mean really really terrible. My trainer is great he is a army vet also so we have a lot in common. But it is snowing really bad. He picked me up from my hometown Philadelphia at about 6:15 we went to Berwick, PA to pick up a loaded trailer then we were off to the Bronx, NY terrible. Well after waiting about 5 miles away from the George Washington bridge for 2 hours due to weather not allowing vehicles to move off we were we were going to arrive at our destination about a hour late. No problem because no one is there to unload us anyway lol. So about 5 miles away from our first drop we are stuck in traffic again no big deal until this idiot 4 wheeler thinks that his 4 wheel drive means he can haul ### in this crap so what next oh yea we got hit by him. A jeep liberty to make it better he hauled butt now we are here with the steps on driver side bent tire fender broken completely off and waiting for the cops. To make it better the traffic beside us is not moving an inch and we were suppose to deliver to our final stop in new jersey at 9:30 lol that ain't happening. Oh well what a story for day one. We started ay 6:15 and its been 12 hours and we have done nothing.
The Challenger and wulfman75 Thank this. -
No worries Miz, you can't control the weather. Sorry about the Jeep hitting you guys, but you can't do much about that either. A full day of frustration...you and everyone else in that area driving a big rig. I feel for ya, but know it will get better.... it has to!

I hope so gears. Well we are still waiting for the cops its almost been 4 hours since we called them. The plus side my trainer has a 2011 freightliner cascadia and it is a 10 speed manual. Not a automatic.

Four hours? That's whacked!
I'm sure they got their hands full with all kinds of other stuff, not to mention all the calls that came in before yours. If you're bored, take some pictures and post 'em here. -
Well the cops finally show up and tell us she is here to clear trucks from the highway we tell her why we are there she says go to the next exit and call again. Lmao that's not the best part when she pulled away she said have patience. Lol that was classic.

Keep your chin up, lots of snow headed that way. Hope you guys stay safe! -
Really?
Hell, they could have told you that over the phone! Now your call will be back on the bottom of the frickin' list!
Happy Monday Miz!
