Anyone purposely leave there team mate behind

Years ago, my husband was teaming with a guy (been a family friend since they met) that decided it would be great fun to mess with his partner. Story goes that the co -driver was sleeping in the bunk. When hubby stopped for fuel and such, he woke the other guy up and went on about getting the fuel . Well, he got everything done he needed to do, got back in the truck and started down the road. After a bit, he happened to look back at the bunk and didn't see his partner, only his boots. He turned the truck around as fast as he could, went back to the truckstop all the while picturing his buddy, shoeless and abandoned.
Then he heard a voice calling his name. He turned to find that his teammate had hidden under (in) the bunk to trick him into thinking that he'd been left behind! That was at least 10 yrs ago.

 

I am with Nana, I will refuse to get him snacks or drinks when he is driving and he straightens right up lol. It does annoy me that we are supposed to always empty all trash at every fuel stop. We fuel DAILY so I am still confused when a trash bags been sitting there full for several days if we fuel on his time...

I've thought about moving the truck when he goes in for stuff, just to mess with him, but he's better at parking then I am and if I start that he could probably get into really tight ### spot that doesnt look like a truck is there and I'd never find it lol.

 

I agree, I was on the 25,000 mile cruise with Walt Hood at England and we started down Parley's Canyon. I remember being about 80,000 pounds at the weigh stations and I've lived about 20 years in Utah. We were about half way down the canyon and Walt had told me what gear to put in in. England Trucking forbids downshifting on a hill but Walt was on the passenger side and started yelling things like, "do something (or we'll crash). Does anybody know the right gear for the 15-speed transmission? On the way up Parley's the 500 horsepower engine set off the red light to slow way down and move over. I went to MTA Trucking in El Paso, Texas to get my CDL and they said that the 67% Mormon population was, "hard to get". I got the truck into a lower gear but Christie Wakeland at Ye Olde England roost canned me. William Decker and Walt Hood told her they didn't like me and Bill said he had never had a student before. Please get back to me what gear to put this truck should have been at the top of Parley's Canyon.

 

One of the most dangerous roads in Tennessee. I 24 EB. Monteagle Mountain.
The truck speeds are variable depending on weight.
At 80000 lbs the max truck speed is 18 mph.
Increases with the decrease in weight.
Just to give you an idea of how slow a
dangerous mountain can be climbed down.

Is Christie hot?

 

Left my team mate on the side of the road in Indiana. He just happened to be my soon to be ex

 

I refused to run teams. I made it clear I would quit first. However, my father ran teams through most of the late 60s all the way into the early 90s when he retired. He was the lead driver once in the 70s and woke up in the early morning hours at some truck stop. This happened some, a driver would make a short bathroom break and grab some coffee. In this case, my dad had already warned this clown about stopping for a long period of time, and the company was aware of it. Back then there was no GPS and so there were not going to be any issues coming from him getting out of the sleeper early and driving. Dad got up and walked into the truck stop to find the driver playing a pinball machine. He returned to the truck, cranked it up using his key and left the truck stop, and went on into I think he said Iowa and delivered. Dad came back to his home terminal a few days later and somebody helped him get that driver's things out of it and stored them. The driver was fired and to this day I have no idea how he got home or who paid for it.

 

The only two people I have teamed with for any length of time was my Dad while he taught me the art of driving back in the late 70's /early 80's, and my son while I departed the knowledge from my Dad, the was in 2013. I did try teaming in the mid 90's, he was a jerk, He took over driving just south of Indy I was awaken around Edinburg Indiana, I simply got up called my dispatcher and then headed for Shakytown. The had me stop in Springfield to drop his stuff and never heard another word. And wad never ask to team again.

 

We never found out if Christie was hot.

Most chics named Christie are hot.
