Eagle Transport (Gas Haulers)

Wheew Dogie there Smokie ... youse a burnin' up that highway!!!

My brother used to do the same thing when he used to run Canada ... it got so bad that the family had a ready supply of roadside crosses to mark the inevitable spot. But it never quite got that bad ... in fact it eventually became something of an ego trip for him. He used to brag that every highway patrol officer in the lower 48 had memorized his date of birth, his social security number, home address, license plate number and how many points he had left before he took his 39th trip to traffic school ... a school ( BTW ) that was named after him. Lordy Lordy ... how that boy could talk about POing the four wheelers ... claimed he had seen more middle fingers than a manicurist. He always made me laugh though except when he began spending all his off time cleaning hair and bone gristle out of his front grille

 

Yeah smoke that is a pretty good run, I know 17 is a pain with all that construction and 35 and 45 mph areas. I still hoping for the best here, but have been checking out other options as well. I've about had it with these containers.

 

Ahhh Smokie ... he's gonna be alright ... I've waited plenty of times for my co-driver and since we don't keep the truck in Charlotte ... when I have to wait it is usually in the lower lot of an oil company with no A/C ... just sittin' there by myself ... bored out of my wits ... and waiting ...

Too many variables in this job to be able to get everything right all the time ... just keep it in your head that there will be times and circumstances beyond your control that you simply have to work around. No sense gettin' irritated or agrivated about it ... that's just the way life is.

Sounds like you got a pretty good co-driver ... I had one, but he died of cancer last year and the one I have now ain't worth the powder it would take to blow him to H---, and I mean that with all my heart! How in da heck this clown ever got hired is so far beyond me as to make the whole world look silly. You know, you've seen 'em before ... the kind that just don't give a #### about anything or anyone except himself ... it's a #### shame you have to work with someone like that. But I keep him on the truck, because I need someone who lives close-by so we can slip seat ... otherwise the truck would have to be sent back to Charlotte so it could be properly utilized 24/7.

 

What are dog ears?

 

1 year 4 months and this thread is still alive..Wonder if Eagle has been bombarded with apps because of this thread..A few weeks ago,i watched a driver dropping diesel at a truckstop.As he took the hose off the trl a lil fuel ran out..he cleaned up the small mess with what looked like a bounty paper towel..Is this some special towel or just a plain old rag?

 

It is a pad that soaks up fuels and oils but not water. Use them a lot in environmental clean ups.

 

Thank you about the dog ears.
