    Feeling like @cke the other day. Sitting on the side of the road pissing out fuel from delivery valve #1. Think she's cracked. Fuel gushing right out where the delivery valve goes into the pump.

    Waiting on the old man to bring me the other truck. Good thing i always give myself time. Only about a hr from the house. I'll still make my 11am in jersey city on time. #### #### ####. Bout time to swap the full mech pump on anyways. Been sitting in the garage for over a year now

    Edit: Nothings loose already checked. Least it happened on a wide spot. Coming out of Scranton at the 84/380 split on the big hill. It's funny leaving the house this morning i had that gut feeling something was gonna happen. Funny how that works

    Question for youze... So I am heading out with new tarps. 14oz. Never used that light a weight before. Leaving the blasting mat tarps behind. Thank God. But now she's sending me on a 2 pick 1 drop lumber load.... How fragile are these? I don't have any blankets and I'm still in the day cab. I'm on my way back to Tulsa but gotta make do till I get there. Am I foolish if I don't bring some padding or??? Not sure what kind of lumber. Loading in Preble NY...

    If you’re loading dimensional lumber you should be fine, if it’s sheet goods you might want to find some cardboard to pad the corners.

    It must be some kind of universal rule. If you're convinced that you didn't have enough padding or protection, it's going to be fine, but when you pad the crap out of everything, it'll get a random rip for no apparent reason whatsoever.

    Well....suck. got a good load going where I wanted, but the earliest appt time they had was 1600! So I took a different load. Now I've been sitting on my butt over at nielco steel in Houston since 1000 and haven't even moved! Ugh. I'm in an alley now that is just flooded! I had to get out to check in.....I'm soaked. Water was shin deep on the walk over. Good times.
