The misadventures of a rookie tanker yanker

They have it apart right now and are replacing several things along with fixing the seal. It's going to be a long day. Mechanic was taking a torch to it a few minutes ago. Yeah, just might be in the hotel again.

 

It was the first thing they replaced. After a few failed road tests, it started leaking again. You just can't safely hit a pothole while going above 40 with this thing. It's just too violent and won't stop until the truck is nearly stopped.

Dang, dang, dang, because stronger language can't be used on here.

 

Yeah, my frustration is getting the better of me. Cooler heads prevailed. My TM and terminal mechanic are being great about it.

 

Well, getting what I believe is my 6th night in a hotel. Our terminal mechanic talked to the Mack guy and they're having shocks and something else done.

We'll see what tomorrow holds. Yes, I'm frustrated as all get out.

 

Brother, you and me both.

 

Was told the truck is fixed by replacing the shocks. I haven't driven it myself and have been told the same thing 3 other times, so I'm wary.

Waiting on paperwork and taking it out on an easy drive towards home. Will let y'all know the outcome. If after a week it's a broken shock, I'd be surprised.
