Something All New Drivers Should Need to Know....

Also carry a good jaw grip wrench to hold the tandem handle bar when the pins won't lock!

I'm no mechanic, I'll bet you carry a lot more tools in your chest than me, I had the bare necessities with 2 hammers, set of screwdrivers, extra trailer locks, tire air gauge, king pin lock. & silicone grease.

 

Theres a scene in it with the crying indian you posted a gif of was in that music video

 

I was thinking the same... If you spill the fuel, which I have done a couple times to be perfectly honest, both times it was all over my shoes. I don't quite understand why you complain to management over that, it was your fault not the truck stops.

The smell is certainly offensive to one's senses, but not bad enough to throw away a perfectly good pair of trousers over. Stick it in a plastic bag, tied up, and wash them the first chance you get. Problem solved and 40 bucks saved

 

Yeah pretty ballsy, I'd be worried they'd point out all the signs that say you're responsible for spills and smack me with an EPA fine and cleanup fees

 

Those fuel soaked boots Would've been nice and water repellent through the winter too. Lol

 

LOL
If you saw my tool box in the truck you would cry...
I have enough tools in the trucks to do full brakes, full air bags, full electrical work, full bolt on motors parts, and god knows what else I could do. I have about 700lbs in tools in my lower bunk. Air tools, and everything else you can imagine. I think I have about 3 vice grips. of various sizes.

I live by the rule, you can never have enough!

 

Don't forget all the spare parts. Air governors, sensors, filters, etc....

 

The indian comes from a PSA from a time before most of you were born. He's shedding a year about all the litter polluting the river he's paddling.

 

good idea for leasers & O/O's but as a company driver they provided us with fuses, & bulbs. If anything else was needed it was paid for by them on a shop ticket.

Yes, shows my age but that's correct. The tv ran that spot so many times I would become sadden to the extent on how often people would litter our precious national parks & forests. Recently learned that some Indian reservations even today still have no running water. Shameful really

 

I've heard of alot of megas that would rather pay for a road service call than have the driver work on the truck.... think I remember reading about a Lonestar driver that they wouldn't let him change his own service air line.
