    Y'all have a nice walk....don't forget to leave the hot apple pie on the window sill....and don't be "all upset" when you get back and Grandad and Otter are snoring/smiling/snoring under said window sill that now has an empty pie dish!:biggrin_25518:

    He's having a "senior" moment, still babbling on about some non-existent apple pie. Poor ol' thing.

    Wow so far off topic! Anyways I enjoy driving for Swift where else can I get so much time sitting in my truck waiting for days for a simple repair? I don't need to make money I am having to much fun trying to guess when I will see I35 again.

    Dunno just seems crazy to sit when I can put the end cap on in two hours max. Oh well got plenty of time on the internet and saving money because I sure won't have a paycheck next week.

    nothing I can do about it so why stress out.....maybe next week will be better,

    Well, with our daycabs at this other company, it was an issue acknowledged by the shop... The electrical systems on those Freightliners was crap. I had to go help a driver one night because his truck was throwing electrical arcs from the electrical ground on the frame. And they blew headlights like it was going outta style.

    If you could find a law, I would be interested in seeing it. I have been working in Transportation for a few years now... I always ready to learn something new.

    And almost everything you do when you are on the road is tax deductible, including your meals. Mine arent.

    OMG!!! Shrek!! Saaaavveee meeeee!!!

    I just talked to a MENTOR who refuses to throw chains and won't teach his students how. He won't because he's from Alaska and "knows how to drive in it" and his student is from Montana and already knows how. But!! As the conversation progressed, he finally got to it: He wants to be paid to throw chains.
    :biggrin_25521:

    This guy is responsible for training our new folks!





    Are you kidding me?!?
