    I hate delivering to San Francisco.

    Cons wasn't ready at delivery appointment and said "could you wait 4 hours?". Sure, no problem -- mind if I stay parked in front of your business? "oh no, you've gotta go.". Funny, no one wants to allow a truck to park anywhere in SF.

    And they all say the same thing when you ask for big truck directions: "Oh we have trucks deliver here all the time." followed by "Wow that's a lot bigger truck than we normally get.". I had to encroach on the sidewalk to keep the alley open, dodging a street sign in the process. This apparently pissed off a local hobo. Either that or he felt that my steps made a nice handhold for crouching because he dropped trou right in front of me and unleashed a bear-pile of execrement.

    No extra stop pay, but 4.75 hours detention. My truck barely started once they finished, so now I'm at the San Leandro International dealership for new batteries.

    wow that's scary, glad they got it fixed!


    My batteries tested ok, but the terminals were badly corroded. Starts like a champ now (though I give myself car-guy demerits for not catching it sooner)


    By the way, check out this cool trash can tunnel at the Oakland (Hayward) Con-way freight entrance:
