Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

There pretty stringent on fuel and DEF only. Not even gas for a van. Haha, one time a guy who doesn't work here any more, bought fuel for one of the ATM vans with his DEF card. They were all like Ohhh you can't do that, will get some goofy charge ha-ha.

 

I agree tired of this weeks monkey business and these goofy people who can't be bothered to show up to work.

 

flipped a ##### WITH DOUBLES in a residential street because colo DOT sucks and just closed the freeway (4 lanes) so they could pave it. Yes, just pave it. umm really???? it's 4 fugging lanes and you can't just use 1 or 2 to pave.

Just sent us into downtown colorado springs. no further directions. trying to get back to free way, coming to a train track overpass and it says 13'
oh ####, i'm pretty sure i'm 13.6
make immediate left (kinda, still had to back up) to get to the last street and it says "no outlet"
oh for ####s sake
there are fewer bushes and trees on that road, but i got turned around. I really thought I was going to have to break it down.

 

One time had to pull a set down town Dallas! Very spooky!

 

I was taught to drop the rear. And back the lead in first, then hook the the rear and back it in.

 

That's no good I wouldn't care much to be in that situation. Here in Ohio they pave the road one lane at a time I've never seen them shut a full 4 lane highway down to do paving. We might have more orange barrels or something in are state and that's probably one of the reasons why we don't have to shut the entire road down.

 

How did you find the right way to get back to the highway?

 

No shame there, driver. We all have to do it at some point.

 

Sorry, a "former" pintle hooker here... Mike said "all are welcome," LoL. I'd've been with Estes had they called me before my current 7 year tanker gig already "hooked me up."
I love reading your trials and tribulations, RR. You're a tough cookie.

ps: Who needs facebook, when you have US?!?

 

followed the giant line of traffic waiting for a 5 car green arrow to turn left to get back on the freeway.
that's right, it let 5 cars (plus my long ### on the red cuz I simply didn't care anymore) to get back onto the freeway. 4 lanes, even at 9pm at night is still a LOT of traffic.

idiotic

and oh yes, everywhere else they just close lanes and do the work in the lanes you aren't driving in.
