    Normally I wouldn't either but this one is a special case

    I wasn't about to and in no mood to go back into Naperville and have my entire day wasted by a problem customer. By the looks of things we're about to drop them anyway.

    Sometimes you just gotta do what it takes to get it done and I'm not above bending a rule here or there to get it done if the situation is extreme and required it.......as long as it doesn't compromise safety

    I made an executive decision lol there was a viable low risk option so I took it......but also fully prepared to accept responsibility for it if it went south on me.

    I'd have much rather gotten caught overweight on an axle than wasayyyyy over length.

    Did my good deed for the day lol got out in the rain and spotted for celadon trying to get into a spot across from me and not getting it.

    I'll give him a pass on the relatively low difficulty level considering it's raining and dark I know he clearly can't see good where he's at and he looked pretty unsure of where his front end was each time he pulled up

    Now that I've got dry clothes on again hopefully that'll be repaid by an uneventful trip down the mountain in the monsoon lol

  7. Sitting with @PackRatTDI in the parking lot. He's enjoying some "in & out burgers". It's about 70° slight breeze, just chilling.

    Sitting here at Klein's in Fresno, CA with @peterbilt_2005 enjoying the nice weather.

    A nice end to an otherwise crap day. Spent 3 hours getting loaded today in Stockton and didn't make use of the platform scale to axle out. Get to Ripon and scale out and 35580 on the trailer axle at the 40 foot mark. Not good. Dispatch wouldnt let me risk Tehachapi being closed so i had to and get worked. They were cool about it.

    Decided that since I don't have to be in El Paso until Sunday evening, I stopped at Kleins and met up with Bryan.
     
    TruckDuo Thanks this.

    It's too dark and none of the lot lizards will pose with us.
