    All the electronic garbage too. Can't just fix anything now without it being hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

    Why do turn signals need to go through a circuit board?

    Going to be a long next three years.

    Tankers are easy... Lots of work, but easy. Just dont forget to relieve your line pressure after blowing the line and BEFORE you disconnect your line. Any guesses how many times I made that mistake?

    It's the bureaucracy. Gots to check the boxes. Leos check more boxes and look more productive when administrating levels 1s....

    "Look at what a high percentage of level 1 stops our specially trained (at tax payer expense) officers did"

    Basically justify their existence at your expense.

    They get money just for having you drive through a scale.

    But log violations were their bread and butter. Now that's all gone.
    I mean you can be deemed unsafe for marker lights or a chaffed air line.
    That's just a holy crock of ####.

    Lot of good guys hung up their keys a few years ago. Replaced with what.

    Had a bad air valve on my unload line once. Always treat the end of my hose like a shotgun, and point it away from me when I'm taking the end plug out to start unloading.

    Set a new company record that day, the plug blew out and flew about 240' when I was easing the 2nd dongle out. Glad I wasn't pointing it at my face.

    What about Judge? Anyone heard from him? Last I remember he was talking about being pretty sick and hoping he would pull through.
