Oh, this was not a luck issue
One of my employees(who I would fire if I could replace him with someone competent) forgot to fill the gas can that services the pony motor on the trailer. So, since my ex-wife paid for my triple A membership last year, I called them up to help me with my I have run out of gas issue.
Now how the last of the gas in the pony motor was used is a different story. Turns out the permit writer for the city of Oxnard has never actually been to Oxnard!
They routedme off the exit to the customer making a left hand turn from the single lane get off ramp onto a bridge with no shoulders and just like 2 11 ft lanes. And a giant hump to high center on.
So, at 6:45 am with traffic stacking up - Inhad to start the pony motor, raise the trailer to get over the jump and back onto the highway - which I did and then went back and lowered the trailer - which then ran out of gas and the motor died.
The repose time from triple A was great - 1/2 half hour from call in to has delivered and $0.00 spent.
All this happened while the customer was having their morning safety meeting.
Oh, and the tree was not as big a deal as originally thought but still ... Right in the middle of the driveway?passingthru69, macavoy, skootertrashr6 and 3 others Thank this. -
Good call on using AAA. Should of taken tree out as you left.
Glad it worked out. How was 118. Then 23 ?? -
Route was fine - not flat but no issues. Drove right past the open scale on 101 north - no issues.
I stacked my jeep for the run home to AZ and decided I should pull into the southbound 101 scale
that was open. Uh that was stupid tight just 9 axles - on 11 would have been "ugly"
What sucked was getting woken up at 2:45 am after just falling alarm at 11:30 on the 210 emergency parking area by the CHP and getting told to move.
After a 20 minute discussion, explaining the retarded curfews, construction closures and business hours of the customer - it was decided I should just stay till morning and tell anyone else I was "overheating"
Ok, so today if anyonea is asking ... I spent the day in bed because "I am overheating" now get off
