Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Red-blue what's the difference. Both say Crete and Shaffer on them with the same DOT number...as long as the money is green, I really don't have a preference on truck color to be honest.

 

I am starting to believe I am cursed here lately. Here is the latest






Rolling across I-64, just east of Lexington with moderate traffic. At the last second, I saw some sort of either a thin plastic business sign or a thin piece of plywood in my lane (just coming over a small hill)...no place to move left, so I straddle it and my truck's aero sucked it up, shearing both air lines off the left front brake chamber and nicking the ABS cable on a nearly new trailer...shutting me down on the side of the road.

 

The only way I'd ever be assigned a blue truck is if I transferred to Crete. When I pulled a dry van, I almost always had a blue truck.

 

Well, he didn't have the right fittings on his service truck (he just got moved to a different truck and hadn't gotten all his stuff transferred over), so, rather than make me sit there, he caged the brake chamber and pinched the lines closed and got me to their shop where he can fix it without worrying about getting hit. People have 0 respect for a broke down truck on the shoulder (with triangles and flashers...and his service truck strobes), including some Shaffer trucks. I thought about getting some of my 4' pieces of pvc out and swinging at the twits that wouldn't move over...f'g #######. I even challenged some by walking straight at them over the white line, but I had to chicken out and jump back.
