Well, here's your chance! (Dot and missing mudflaps)

In some left coast bay areas, a loose grip on vocabulary, could be construde as coming from a yankey.

 

A strudel sounds good right now.

 

Another thread hijacked, and this time by the OP himself!

I always carried a reasonable priced set of tools with me, even running a local day cab. I HATE sitting beside the road waiting for breakdown to show up!

When I worked for an aggregate hauler, I went into the shop and told the jerkoff working there that I needed a tire repair. His response was, "You'll have to do it yourself, I'm too busy." I said OK where do you keep your jacks and tools. He looked at me like he couldn't believe it, and said "you're kidding, right." I told him I was there to get a job done, and didn't mind doing what needed to be done.

He went ahead and pulled the tire, (ended up replacing it,) and never gave me any problem after that.

 

Your mud flaps were definitely stolen. Because if they weren't, you just had a chargeable accident.

 

A quick note the key is in red "BE A SMARTAS5" and to you kind sir I fall on my own sword. LOL In closing this eve allow me to pay homage to my wise Miami Indian grandfather who often said "Son, there are two things in this world you never let your best friend borrow,your car and your girlfriend, for sure as your back is turned he will try his best to throw a rod in both of them.

 

I always carried a few tools; battery powered drill, mudflap bolts, etc.
Was backing into a parking spot at a truckstop in Georgia and saw two mudflaps on the concrete curb in my parking spot. After I parked, walked back to check and they were two Schneider mudflaps in excellent condition.
As a joke, I drilled new holes and swapped them out with the mudflaps on the reefer I was pulling and put my companies mudflaps in the sidebox.
At the terminal the mechanic stood there scratching his crotch and looking at the Schneider mudflaps and said, "Uhh, wonder how the Schneider mudflaps got on our trailer?" I said, "Beats the heck out of me."
He swapped them back out with our company mudflaps and threw them in the dumpster. I took them out of the dumpster and did the same again on another trailer. Same deal again with the mechanic. About the 3rd time it happened, he gave up and the Schneider mudflaps were still on there when they sold the trailer to another reefer company.
