    Well..the adventure of the “hot” load.. at around 930 this morning, we will try to type the way he spoke, but no promises.,
    Broker, from now on ‘Them’
    “Hurry up you and get load they neeed it today!”
    Me, “I just took the load you haven’t even sent confirmation yet, so I haven’t put my boots on, besides receiver will be gone home when I get there, don’t try and blow smoke to me.”
    Them “They wait on you!”
    Me, “Better them than me,”
    Them “Whats your eta to ship?” (Shipper Cause I didnt load at any port or waterway)
    Me “I dunno, sometime before midnight tonight I suppose.”
    Them “Its only 25 miles from you!”
    Me “35, but whose counting.”
    I just kept at it, I thought it was funny, I been home a week, took truck out of service, so had no calls to have fun with..

    Anyways I got there to load, two ahead, got loaded, drove straight through, only 250 miles.. I pull in as the customers are leaving with the, “We’ll be back about 730 in the morning, but you can park overnight.. next to the train tracks. 2 main and a spur.

    As I have typed this 3 trains have went by horns blaring sounding like they are about to come off track..

    Wish I had some red paint I could make up a sign thst says, “No Wake Zone.”
    for more than meaning.

    I should’ve stopped at the Loves..

    the alternative would be a driver getting the crap scared out of them. That it was so bad the crap overflowed out the window.

    Well, well, well...

    As I am Otter, first of my name, leader of marine mammals, breaker of trainees, am now a resident of Washington because of AB5. Yes. I hold a Washington State CDL.

    Had a fun day of testing. The drop I had to make was 1.4 miles from the DMV.

    I’ll say this $205 in fees is insane. I think the great state of California was like $30.

    Anyways....my wife has a house there with her sisters. Made it easy.

    California über alles! But an Otter needs to keep a OM happy and be legal.

    I had to go out there and found out what was going on.... Police got a bandit, not sure if they hurt him but they arrested him... and other bandits in the area got psssd and decided to spread the trash on the street and set it on fire.... Pictures as usual are not very clear cause I shook the camera some...

    Those pictures show police cars and police officers trying to extinguish the fire...

    20191121_193300.jpg
    There were 3 small fires on that street and lots of police on motorcycles....

    I thought I had taken a good picture but it was out of focus... :biggrin_2552:

    Now everything is fine and quiet out there....
