Where is everyone #5

Innisfil to Tilbury to Hearst.....That’s a busy couple of days. Check the map for Hearst,ON @MagnumaMoose .....getting real close to Moosonee and Moose Factory

 

1750 ish, guess that’s not the sweet spot :/
I had seen in a forum on those trucks that guys were #####ing they’re speed limited to 99. They’re all in reg pickups, I felt like that’s plenty, especially being lot of them have big tires that push the actual speed higher/ 105-/+.
Seems to like to spin a bit faster than 13/15 liter motors even tho it has torque down low.
Average so far is 11.6-11.8 mpg. My 90k average on my 1500 is 14.5. 3.42 rears, 285/55/20.

Maybe I’ll try running it just in 5th on the highway see what it does.

 

Welp, my buddy that bought my turbo decided to change all his fuel lines at my shop.....i let him do that. LOL . fired it up and it sounded like it was sucking air. Ask if he tightened all the fittings. Yep sure did. Screwed around with it for a while then slipped under it .....well son of a gun found a loose fitting ! Still wouldn't start. After a while I got po'ed. Grabbed can of starter in a can. A few snorts fired right up ! Out leader called and offered a load, without hesitation I spun around and hollard "Hey Joe ya got a load to do". Killed two birds with one stone. Got rid of him from my shop and got a crapy load covered. LOL I can only take so much of someone leaching off of me !!

 

I wish it could be Innisfil to somewhere to Cochrane or North Bay or something, then back to Dryden on Wednesday, lol. Hate waiting around for steel.

 

Today was a first. Finally got the 20' handrail cap delivered, 2 of the 5 pieces were bent. 1 of them I could make work, with a small amount of waste. The other 1 was going to have about 6' of waste. The driver asked how much they were worth, I told him $24/ea. He said he could pay cash up to $25 for damaged freight, then there would be no paperwork, no claim, and no lengthy phone conversations to file the claim. I took it, since the company basically reimbursed me the cost of the material.
Anybody else ever do/hear of this? It was an LTL company.

 

Never heard of that....was it Price or Beaver by chance?

 

Nope never heard of that policy. Maybe he told dispatch about the damage and they said do it

 

Or maybe he was paying out of pocket to keep dispatch from finding out he ####ed up more property....

 

Yep
