Finally made it to Wythville. Richmond made me drop a defect trailer. Wouldn't allow Petro to fix it.

It has an air leak in the tandem lock lines. Push in the button, air leaks out and the pins pop back out. Sliding the tandems is a two person job.

I want to thank those who actually give me the benifit of doubt with my issues here. Like I've said, if you are not in my truck with me, you don't know.

To those who choose to dismiss everything I've said, . I wish I had your talent to know all.

And, I'm working on another job. With some of these comments, I am ashamed to be employed with some of you. I'll be happy to bid those "people" good riddence. I'm truly sad I felt I had to say this. But, enough is enough. If it isn't obvious that I don't belong here....

I was simply trying to understand. That's all. I expected too much, I guess.

Peace to you all.

And peace to you man. Sorry it didn't work out here. I can understand the frustrations. Hope you find your road out there and always be safe. Best wishes.

Hmm, makes me wonder why they replied not to forget them when I was looking for suggestions. Chinatown gave me a list, and Abilene was not on there, I guess he knows more about their hiring habits than the recruiters do.

Oh, I thought you didn't get a reply... maybe I am confusing two different companies that you mentioned... sorry.

Yes. Nothing like dealing with a 20 something with a God complex.

He looked like he was barely 20, even with his "tactical special forces" 5 day face fuzz.

About to depart on leg 2 of what I think is the Gatorade loop. Wythville to Indy and back?

That KW was a Freightliner and you waved at me twice!.

I would rather have my truck xrayed than have to deal with the customs guy.

See what happens when I drive through the night after being up all day... with only a couple hours of sleep before bumping the dock, my mind was mush... LOL

And I must wonder just high powered that X-ray equipment is to shoot n see through metal.

But Sifu, here I sit at the Loves, with my very own parking space! I even backed it in myself, between two parked trucks, which is a first for me, since I never did that in training. (Everything I did in training was either straight pull-through or backing up into a spot with empty spots on one or both sides.) Squeaked in here with 18 minutes left on my 14.

Also had to back in to Dock #1 at that plant, which is right next to a concrete wall/ramp. And had to do it blind side. My first ever real life backing situation without adult supervision. Took me about 10 minutes but I got it in there. After that, a sight-side back into a parking spot here at the Loves seemed pretty easy.

There is enough space there to turn yourself around and do it sight side. Hyster also has another warehouse close by that I have parked at twice for my ten.

No way I was getting caught in Chicago's Friday night rush hour again so I dropped down the 39 to the 74/70. Smooth flat out running and no traffic jambs!

My neck of the woods. That route is always a lot better. More miles, but saves you time and stress.
