    Oh god I hope not(Gordon's isn't real hot for stuff like that the policy on accidents is pretty much don't have them)! What happened was over the summer when I was in your neck of the woods in Aberdeen,MD another driver who transferred to another GFS yard and no longer works at our yard still with the company, but at another branch was driving my truck and got into an accident and it was very sad:

    Oh by the way I'm glad to be back. Let me explain. Past 2-3 weeks my desktop computer was in the shop. My motherboard got clogged with dust and fried it's self. Well I'm proud to announce I have a new motherboard and new Windows operating system not that old bootlegged version I think I might have had not really sure. Computer is running unbelievably better. So happy to be off the phone and have a real mouse an key board!

    It was worse then that, that was the duct tape job I did. What happened was we got to our first stop that Monday out in West Chester, Pennsylvania area and were getting ready to leave and I saw that piece just hanging there by a thread (manufactures defect by the way) I said to the kid who was driving I said "This wasn't like this when we left." He said "Oh no I put it back in every couple of days."
    Well I was looking at the signal there and the fastening system on the back of it was totally gone.

    So I did what @LoneCowboy taught me and that's to go in my back pack and grab my roll of duct tape which is what I did. The kid driving was like "Who is this guy with a roll of duct tape."
    Anyhow I did that duct tape job. Best part about it was Penske in Bellcamp, MD said "Yeah will get a new turn signal piece, but in the mean time that duct tape job is fine!"
     
    Big Don Thanks this.
