JJ's Place

I prefer to call myself a dirty old man!!!!!

 

thats good to know. i start training in a couple weeks with central refrigerated so maybe after a year or so i will look into motor west. sounds like a good gig. also hoping central works out for the best

 

JJ had already answered the question!

 

Pan did you wear your Green tights???

Ya pervert!!!

Rugerfan, Good luck with Central do ya year and look about for another company DON'T get sucked into the Fleece!

Chrome E-Logs suck am hoping that they don't become a new stupid rule for Owner Ops!

Snowwy are you still stuck in the Scales?

 

yeah i dont wanna lease i jsut wanna learn the in s and outs of trucking and get my cdl and get some good experience

 

they were able to get online and get a western regional permit for multistate.

course, it was night time now so wyoming chewed me a new Ahole for not having lights on the load. almost picked up a $250 citation. the flipping load is only 9ft round. 3inches over the trailer. and the trailer is surrounded by lights for crying out loud. and the cab has 4 red lights on back that light up the #### near the whole trailer.

colorado don't sell permits at the scalehouse. you have to buy them from the state. which means weekday business hours.
SO KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU GET YOUR STEPDECK.

you need yellow lights on top of cab. amber lights in front and red lights on back of load if you're going to be driving at night.

and don't forget hard hat, vest, and boots. a lot of flatbed loads go to places that require personal protective equipment.

you'll need a broom.

a red light bar for loads that hang over the back. we're all equiped for those loads. you need 6 flags for daytime. lights for night time. 2 flags go on front corners of trucks 4 flags go on corners of load or trailer.

grab some rope and have about 4 lengths of chain hooked to rope. you pick up a load thats too high. you use the rope over the load to pull your chains up and over the load for securement. chains are too heavy to throw that high and over the load.

got moved into my new truck and home 12 hours later then planned.

 

harborfreight is having a sidewalk sale this weekend.

i picked up a 800 watt generator for $80. it's small and weighs 25 pounds. and a small 55 amp battery charger for $50. should i find myself with dead batteries or a dead truck in winter. i can provide myself with heat. cook up a meal. and a way to jump start the truck.

 

i just paid my last bill with spring. and check this out. i have one text message to the United Kingdom for .20 cents. dayyuummmmm

i don't know anyone in the UK.

 

Lmao @ not knowing anyone in the UK you can text!!!

Thanks for the info on lights and securement I will make a note in my book, but since I will be getting permits myself and not some half witted company joker we should be good!

 

the less permits i have to buy. the less i have to fight to get my money back.

getting permits in some states isn't an easy task either. like colorado. and it's nice that there was a online vendor to buy permits from. or else i would be stuck in colorado till tuesday. cuz the scales don't sell the permits. and monday is columbus day which means a govt holiday. neither does oregon.

i can't wait to see how much fighting i'm going to have to do to get imbursed for the citation. i don't feel like i should have to pay for office F up.
