    Ohio NB I-75 Wood Ohio, bear Bowling Green is out of the ground. That was a good surprise last week.

    I went order my door panels from yiweitco.com, turns out it’s a fraudulent site. Lol. Figures,$100 each was too good to be true. Back to making my own. Glad I didn’t order them before they were exposed.

    The land hurricane seems to have subsided or moved to terrorize another part of the country.

    Hopefully it doesn't pick back up.

    Sometimes the amount of complete and total lack of situational awareness and parking skills in modern trucking is awe inspiring.

    Stevens has been blitzing it pretty heavy last couple of days, too. Says DOT likes to start a few weeks early.

    I guess I was tired this morning. Went to the sink at the restarea to wash my hands. Soaped up and started waving my hand under the faucet sensors to initiate water flow. Waved and waved...nothing. I finally realized there were old school water handles. WTF!!

    I like to put a drop of dish soap into the windshield sprayer. Usually dawn dish soap. Then I dont care what the bug splatter is. That drop per gallon of windshield washer fluid will clean up any bug disaster!

    That's the way is was when I was still running. New color every quarter and they would tear one or both of the ears off for the first two quarters and leave them on for the last quarter. Though I don't think one jurisdiction and the next do the same thing.
    Back in 2009 I had 11 DOT inspections between January and September. All hazmat tanker. Then the product was retested and determined not to be hazmat and I wasn't inspected again for a long time. I was inspected in Louisiana on Mar 31, Level I. The next day in Oklahoma, I got another one. I said something about the stickers being good for 3 months and the cop laughed and said the it was the beginning of the new quarter today.

    Well I was told 0700. It's 0725. Still waiting. Most unfriendly bull service writer in there now.

    Yesterday there was one at The Petro in Kingman that was literally just screaming at this guy. Foreigner. But what an absolute C.

    Poor dude just didn't quite get it. When he was asking if it was OK to go eat while he waited, that was a bit much for me.

    That place has some good wrenches too. But what a C. I mean if you hate your job, find a new one. Leave the country or something, and come back and everything will be paid for, for you, then you can just rag on people all day.
