What if it Snows?

Well with all the coming and going I ended up with an open spot on either side of me... I was gettimg real nervous.

Then along come nice Mr. Oversize and signals me to see if I could slide over 1 spot so he could get in beside me. I hollered at him on the CB that that would suit me just fine. I asked his pilot over the CB car to block all the idiots so I could get pulled forward enough to move over, which he quickly did.

I rocked back and forth a few times to get some traction and pulled forward, and moved over 1 spot in less than 30 seconds, and I didn't even trip my ELD to line 3. 1 min after that Mr. Oversize was backed in beside me and checking his load.

It sure is nice when you get the opportunity to work alongside real professionals. They seem to be few and far between these days.

 

Sirscrapntruckalot - Such a fickle pickle.

 

The good old filler neck. So I have a brand new truck. Brand new. It's brand new. Friday while filling the DEF tank and whistling Dixie cause the pump is so slow I notice DEF pouring from under the truck and around my feet. Upon further inspection these Cascadias have a screw in filler neck that just break when brand new. Brand new. Only cost 8 bucks to replace but 4 gallons of DEF sprayed under and down the side of the truck is priceless. They just don't make em in Mexico like they use too.

 

Needs a large chocolate milkshake and a large order of fries.

 

If you're buying I'll take one too, please.

 

Lol. The picture in my mind of the OM rolling down the window and yelling that makes me smile.

 

Well now the opposite side of the coin...

Another of my company drivers is almost here and called to see if there is any parking, there is a few spots. I go to ask some other driver if he would scoot over 2 feet so my friend could get in beside him.

His response... Sorry, I in my spot, see line. (Points at the only 3 feet of visible yellow line in the entire lot)

I didnt even try to talk sense into him, I just walked away. Like lines mean a #### thing when the entire lot is covered in snow!!!!

 

go to hell, Mexico?
That sounds a bit harsh.
Maybe better, "We have fresh baked cookies, but you can't have any because they're just for us."
We're just not phrasing our position correctly.

 

Well the priming issue is solved. My tanks didnt equalize after the left one was filled. Finally they equalized and after 15 minutes of being off the truck started up. Transmission seems ok. Having to prime the truck for it to fire was a bit tedious.
