Uh oh hope I'm not becoming that guy!

Nice guys where I loaded the old ones out- showed me what was what. Even gave me an air fitting after I tried to pull 38' of the trailer forward with the neck using the air lines.

Yeah that exceeds the working load limit of rubber hose.

I'm willing to help @johndeere4020 do what ever it takes to keep loading machines. We all know I rather see my sister work the cat house as see a pal of mine drive a Volvo. Much less myself

I would think that's the most part of @johndeere4020's day. Back and forth between the home 20 and job sites, delivering and picking up machines. Could you imagine what would happen to JD if he refused to load machines? Next thing you know, @skootertrashr6 woukd refuse to carry dunnage. And @Dye Guardian would go run team with some New Canadians for TransX and cut a hole in the sleeper floor. And @cnsper would go deliver PODS for England. And MJ would go vegan and would become a vegetable hunter (sounds exciting don't it?). And @wore out would get an old Swift Volvo and @passingthru69 would buy a brand new Cascadia. And @Rontonio would go pull for Bulldog...

See how important you are to the world, JD?

Oh that's easy to fix. Just start a good bon fire under her to thaw the ground. Bonus points if the machine uses rubber or plastic fuel lines.

I bet the big Isuzu will light right up. I'm sure I will still be in this mill creek load line in the am. LMAO. Just for sake of knowing where is it 3 degrees in the morning.

Last week, I ran into a few drivers that were real winners.

We were loading at a port. Two drivers refused to load their motor graders. Another brags about how he pulled an OSOW through the tunnel in Mobile. I asked him about the route and he tells me that they dont pay him to be doing stuff like that.

The drivers that refused to load refused to do so because they didn't want to be liable for any mishaps while loading.

I felt it was best that I keep to myself, and so I went and found my machine and drove it on to the trailer and reattached the neck. The drivers watched and then asked me if I would mind loading theirs. I told them that I couldn't because I didn't want to be liable.

You guessed it, "You're an A Hole!"

Yes, I am.

Hey guys, little secret: if your company has rgns, odds are pretty good that you will
1. Pull OSOW
2. Load at a port.

Many of the ports are self load. You have to find your machine, verify the vin and load it. If you have a problem doing that, you need to find another line of work.
Permitted loads require drivers to read and understand lawyerspeak and be able to read maps, do quite a bit of math, and follow instructions to the letter. If you lack patience, cant read or lack comprehension or have difficulty thinking outside the box, perhaps you should go back to pulling a box or stick with hauling sticks and bricks.

Funny thing...another guy shows up while I was there, loads his wagon but comes over to me asking to borrow my height stick as I am about to leave. How do you guys get by without a height stick? In the OSOW world it's as important as that printer you have. You do have a printer, dont you?

"You're an A Hole!"

Yes, I am. You show up to load driving a big large car with a fresh wash, but cant seem to be able to afford a height stick, and I'm the Hole because I have a schedule to keep.

Probably working for companies that are running these loads at cut throat prices.
