Donkey lights

Well I just wired in a new conector on the donkey side. And it didn't make a difference. Soon as I get home I'll up load some photos. I've blasted pretty much everything with electrical connector cleaner and there are no obvious signs of corrosion now on the connections. Everthing on the trailer works the way it should, so I'm inclined to believe that it is something on the donkey side, not the trailer side. Guess I'll take that appart and see if there is something loose.

Unfortunately I don't have anywone that I could just swap cables with to see if thats the problem. If that still doesn't do it, it will HAVE to go in.

Plus I've made a few calls to some other companies to see about a different place to drive for. Biggest thing is I have less than six months experience, thats why I'm kind of waiting till the end of June. Since Janruary I've had less that 5k miles. But they have all been local. So lots of tight proximities and several load/unloads a day if that makes any difference. My loads have all been landscape oriented. Bricks, fertlizer, salt, seed, mulch, and pipe. I haven't had many loads in the last month, maybe one or two a week if I'm lucky. I've been doing more janitorial work than anything around the wharehouse.

 

Got it sorted out. Turned out the wires leading at the connection on the trailer side had corroded to the point that they fell away. Guess to many years of mag-chloride and to much vibration lead to the failure.

But after this latest fiasco its time to move on. I'm putting together an app for System Transport. Already spoke with a recruiter. Sounds pretty good. But I don't trust anyone anymore with what they say and promise. Pay my debts off and buy a truck maybe? Or pay my debts off and buy a cabin someplace with white sandy beaches, tanned girls, and fruity adult beverages with the little umbrellas in them.

 

Yup, gotta ### on my ### in more ways than one!
