    I guess you didnt think to try a few gallons of bottled with a long hose to get to the bottom of the tank to force the diesel to overflow out the top huh.

    I am glad your rolling.. and I know you are too..

    If werner was going to fire him, they would of and sent a rookie straight off the trainers truck to "recover" his truck...

    My last and best trainer told me if they try to assign you a recovery truck refuse it.. when I was being assigned my truck they rented a car for another guy to go get his truck, it was a recovery truck.. so the driver either quit or got fired.. but, I hear horrorstories about how filthy those trucks are...

    Lol.. I am no super trucker.. just a rookie with strong personal and work ethics...

    And yes.. I am a chick....

    I mistyped my screen name.. 883. Is for my chopper.. my custom painted,chopped out bored out 883 spoortster...
    Bedom was supposed to be Besom ... which is a witches broom...

    I am glad, you bet. Athough, you couldn't say rolline yet, but I will get there.

    I have heard about those "recovery" stories too. I have seen people sent on those "mission impossible" :)

    Well, looks like I will be at the Petro tonight. Have a good night everyone.

    The next load that I am supposed to have (which they will probably remove due to the mess up with the appointment on the current one) is 250 miles deadhead. Werner does that too. Every now and then they will send me empty on, what they call, a "repositioning trip" to an area with more loads. Once they sent me empty 750 miles.

    I'm back in the K Dubya. Man Besom Rider is a chick and she like's choppers. It just don't get any better. You are a super trucker in my book. So there. Until you pull a it wasn't my fault and play the blame game. You are not getting written out. Or if you are like Patty and want some of the non confrontational hold your purse while you go shopping type, try on each other's dresses type, clean shaven, low testosterone, high pitch voice type, I don't wana getter done, but wanna make you tube video's of angry dispatcher type. I don't got no pannies on type folks. Patty J loves to defend. Then you will also be taken down from the wall :)

    Dude you don't have a clue on what you are talking about. I have never seen a 6 grand repair bill on any truck I have driven. I limped that son of a gun from the Petro to KW when it was doing the same thing. I limped trucks with bad Injectors from Louisiana to Houston. I limped a truck that didn't have the front wheels on the front trailer axle. My motto is. If it aint SMOKIN IT AINT BROKEN. Yeeeeeeeeeeeee Hawwwwwwww. By the way my check engine light was still on when I started the truck today, and like most of the check engine lights it went away. This time it went away before I could make it out the parking lot.

    Uhh where in MS are you going that is 1200 miles from Texas. You do know your state abbreviations don't you.

    As I said you wouldn't get out till Friday. I'm kinda lost. Help a brother out. Why not head that way with load and they can make an apt. Some time tmrw. Also those coke type loads never have appointments they follow. It's normally first come first serve.

    I thought you said you get paid percentage, and if so you don't get paid for dead head. You also say you pay 200 bucks a week for health insurance because the company you love don't want to put any of their own money to help their drivers out. Oh by the way I've been dead headed from from Boston to Marshalltown, IA.

    Don't count your chickens yet. Until you see how much they take out of your check. Now if I was the Man at the big W. I'd run you 3,000 for 2 weeks, and keep your checks and then send you packing. But thankfully not everybody is as brutal as me.

    If Abe could post on the Report. He would say "SHENANIGANS!!!" Then patty J would say. Awww Abe your vocab is hot!!

    I am Dinomite, and I approve these messages!!

    This one is a shag, the one i am currently on. This is the one with the messed up appointment.

    The next one is San Antonio - Pharr, TX (deadhead) - Southaven, MS (just outside Memphis, TN).
     
    Dinomite Thanks this.
