Schneider Chat Room version 2.0

Nice! That's too good.

 

So that load has basically traveled 800 miles and not been delivered LOL. Will have to go 200 miles back again.

Wow, what a week.

 

I don't know why the attachment didn't work... I even clicked on it and it works just fine for me. Is there a better way to put pictures on here? I just tried it again - hope it works now...

 

It's a driver transporting two rigs. Once he's at the destination hell unload his pu and drive back to his next pick up location.

 

If it makes you feel better I had a 6 hour unload a couple days ago...wow feel for you man, that's pretty bad.

 

The Garmin almost earned it's money back today. The Video looks alot better on the PC. That being said, I may return it and get a gopro and something similar. For $200, I feel that you should be getting more bang for your buck and alot of reviews agree with me(BUT they almost all agree on how great a dashcam this is)

 

So Last night, on I80 in Ohio, right about 30 seconds before The storm of the Century unloaded onto the northern part of the state, the truck next to me throws up a rock and breaks my drivers side door window and the Noah's Armageddon flood says Hi to me. I make it 20 miles down to the next service area and shut down. Luckily I carry one of those Blue tarps, just in case. I get the window covered, spend several hours dealing with SEM, and claims, and go to bed.
The next day I almost run out of fuel, because the 2 Pilots I stopped at had trucks backed all the way to the Freeway, because Drivers were parking on the fuel islands and getting their lunched and such, then the drivers parked behind them would go in and get their's, then the Drivers behind them would do the same. Then the Trucks trying to leave, couldn't get out, because the entrances and exits were blocked with trucks trying to get in.
I make it to the Flying J on I94 in right before it Hits 80 in Gary and I immediately here, "Hey Schneider, what the *censored* are you doing?" I hadn't done anything yet so I know it wasn't me lol. I pull into a Lane with a Truck already fueling........and sit there for 25 minutes, while Some old *censored censored censored* Individually fuels each tank, then tops each one off to the drop, WALKS INSIDE AND GETS HIS LUNCH, comes back out and EATS IT and then takes another 5 minutes adjusting his seat belt. I couldn't back up and switch lanes, because I was at the end, ####eyed, and it was a really busy parking lot.

Throughout most of it, I keep hearing about "Schneider". Apparently, one of our guys didn't want to park and have to be one of the Mundane and have to walk farther than 15 feet to get to the door of the place, so He parks right in front of the door, in the fire lane. It goes sidewalk, Fire lane, then first fuel pump. So He apparent;ly blocked 2 lanes for the fuel island trying to get lined up to get in there, then gets in there and gets stuck, because the end where the tractor is, curves into the first fuel lane. There is a truck there, so He can't pull forward(Which He couldn't have made anyway without going onto the sidewalk. He also can't back up, because A driver pulled up along side him, but can't make the curve to get his truck in line with the pump, without hitting the back of 'Schneiders' trailer, because Schneiders trailer is still partially in lane 1.
A driver in Lane 2 tries to get in, but now He gets stuck by the Truck in Lane one, because Lane one can't pull forward enough for the guy in lane 2 to clear Lane 1's trailer. The Prime Tanker in lane 3 said 'to heck with waiting for the guy in front of Him and went inside the pilot, Because He was never in his truck the whole time I was there. But He had parked about 15 feet farther back than He should have, so now He's giving Lane 4 a run for their money trying to get around him, to get lined up to pull into lane 4. For 20 minutes, some of the most vile CB fighting I have heard in years and 'Schneider' finally pulls out, but going up onto the sidewalk and their shrubs and then He goes and parks.
I finally get up and pump 30 gallons to get me to where I'm going, and then I puller forward and around and go park next to Him, really wanting to see what the heck the issue was. He walks up to me and the guys is an absolute idiot and couldn't comprehend what He just did. Not a clue. I mumble something about having to pee and I bolt to the Store and grab my drink and hot dogs and then run back to the truck and bolt to my Customer over in Melrose Park, Il. I get there and meet a beautiful Hispanic Girl at in the shipping office and immediately get into a door.
I run out, and hop into my truck and go to get set up to back.

I run back to open my doors.










and I stare at the padlock that Somebody at that Flying J put onto my trailer.

That idiot had a Black truck.



Then another Idiot in a black truck parked next to him.




I had one of those little baby hacksaws and was able to cut through 3/4 of the lock before the blade broke. Thats ok, because I have 3 more blades!


Can't find one stupid Blade


Thank god, I was able to borrow a bolt cutter from the yard hostler and was able to get it off.



Done with trucking until Friday morning. Wish I could have went somewhere beside the GAry OC, but I needed to get that window fixed.

 

So just heard sni is giving top tier drivers a penny raise. Nice little jester to those of us who haven't seen a raise in ages.
