    Wife lost her purse one time. It came to the house via Fedex and a note attached that he took $16 cash to pay for the Fedex package. There is still some good people out there

    Thanks for posting, guys.

    I'm going to print that out and put it in my visor to remind me how many good people are still out there.

    Was on an Alaskan cruise last week for my Honeymoon, and set our binoculars down on a bench to take some pictures. Went back to the room, and saw a whale, went to grab the binoculars and realized we left them down on deck 7. So I head down there (it's been 10-15 minutes), they are no where to be found... So be careful before you trust everyone!

    Back home, and bad news one of our drivers got t-boned did not make through surgery passed this morning@ 3am. Rain slicked road and other semi plowed him went to the wreck site no skid marks none they said the other truck was doing 65-70 flight for lifed him to hospital. Guess the hit was so hard that a Halliburton pick up got involved to. Very somber day only five drivers here. Be safe everyone. George

    It is good to know there are good ones for sure to be honest I tend to run into more good people than not. Just lucky that way I guess.

    Sorry to hear about your coworker it so sad how fast things can change out here. I hope thats the last coworker you EVER lose. My heart goes to those he left behind.

    I was t-boned a couple of months ago Ford does not stand a chance against Kenworth his tire and whole knuckle assembly flow past me and rolled about half a mile down the road. All he did to the truck was blow a wheel seal and scoffed my rims a bit. [​IMG]

    That was quite the rain storm last night. I hope you all are doing as well as you can be all things considered.
     
  8. How do I follow these posts.

    Picked up 26 bolts, nails, and other metals, in my drive tires from university of north western.
    So. I'm working on repairing my tarps from the crates load to Stockton.
    Had two months on $47. Upper shock bolt. When it sheered off and hit radiator filter valve. So shock bolt again and filter uploadfromtaptalk1405644427281.jpg uploadfromtaptalk1405644458469.jpg head and valves. Found head of filter cracked.

    Must be fix truck month...

    Holy crap! What do they do, pull nails, screws and misc metals off stuff, throw it in a bucket and at the end of the day spread it all out where the trucks go in and out? That's a lot of patch work!
     
  10. I was shocked when I saw one drive tire. It was depressing to find 7 more with debris. I told the broker I want detention money for the tire troubles. I've never had this much debris. Even steel mills and lumber yards have mag. Strips on there sweeper carts.

    One would think that if they have that much crap laying around to run over they would sweep through with a magnet at the end of every day! Its even rare for my mixer to get crap in the tires! Last thing was a piece of glass through the sidewall but that was like 5 months ago, nothing since.

    Are they all patchable on the tread or did you get sidewall damage? Be thankful your steers are hole free though! LOL That's not a cheap fix like drives
