    Speaking of wrenches, that is the hired kind...

    Recently our inimitable shop foreman actually told a driver they can’t put shocks on his truck because they would have to order International shocks. :rolleyes:

    Smh...

    Yeah that sounds about the right caliber these days. Had wheel seal go out on a pup trailer earlier this week, couplebother guys were pulling it apart when I showed up. Grabbed the seal and brake shoes to head into town for replacements. Let the supervisor know before I went...

    He asked "what parts you need?"

    "Wheel seal and brake shoes."

    "Why brake shoes?"

    "Ummm cause the old ones are unusable after being oil soaked when the seal went out."

    "Oh"

    Sometimes make me wonder. But to be fair this guy know almost nothing about trucks and doesnt really work on them.

    Another one that our doofus actually told me himself, was that there is no such thing as 2’ CB antennas. Apparently there are only 3’ and 5’ “because of the wavelength”. Who knew? :rolleyes:

    And the response after actually showing him the two footers on my truck...
