Question for anyone who can answer.

Shux Howdy!

One look at you and Lurch, and that dude would probably agree
to forgo the last paycheck, and consider himself
lucky to be alive.

 

I live near Fountain, in Elizabeth. Is there any way I could help? How far away is the truck?

 

I have repo'd a deputy sheriffs car before now that takes some brass ones. It got to 120+ on the way back from Kansas.

 

Degrees or MPH?

 

Stay out of it. You could get into trouble by being a volunteer. It must be an employee or officer of the company that gets the equipment unless it is a repo which in this case it is not.

 

I don't want to get in trouble, I just thought maybe I could be of service. I'm just curious, what kind of trucking are you doing that is keeping you so busy? My flatbed work has been slow for about 4 weeks now. I haul out of a place down there in Fountain a lot. I have not really worked at all this week except for working on the truck so instead of making money, I am spending it.

 

It is almost impossible for a small company to find good employees.I feel for you.I went thru 20 in 18 months for 3 trucks.Had 5 trucks but never licensed the last 2 because of hiring drivers.Hired guys I knew,people I didn`t and one who I misjudged to be useless-guess what?He turned out to be the best-honest,dependable,easy on the truck and Professional with our customers.Had 1 friend who was also that way.2 out of 20.Makes me think that I will only have 1 truck the next time.My 2 drivers-1 permantly disabled(back),the other died.
Almost a certainty that the 2nd truck creates more problems than revenue but thats my opinion I could be wrong.

 

I'm a retired federal DOT officer. I haven't driven in about 10-years. When I did I was the #2 person on our undercover sting operation designed to see how stupid some of these state DOT inspection officers are/were which directly reflects on how well that state is training their officers. Some of the states did a miserable job of it too.

 

MPH buddy that is were the speedo stopped so it may have been going faster.
