    Next time, how about we read "I'm about to pull out and he's still here"?

    Don't be "that guy" in the Trucking Accidents forum.

    I have to agree, we have had a driver or two post pictures and or videos on facebook here, they get ea talk to from other drivers pretty quick and find out that just ain't cool. lol

    A few years ago a canadian driver took a load to prudhoe, wizard had a new W9 with a flame paint job and he was taking a picture of him, dropping off of 48 mile. He took his mirror off. I was in coldfoot when wizard came in howling about it, he called Kenworth from there to get a new one for when he returned to town, and the parts man told him that there just happened to be another driver there at that moment buying a new mirror for his. Everybody in the joint heard that conversation,once he was on the phone. lol

    As I was driving from Youngstown back to Cleveland airport on Friday morning, saw a couple of bears at the toll plazas chasing down container haulers.

    Some of us still run them. Its either quiet or some stupid loud mouth that wont shut up. Or can't add value to a conversation.

    How right you are. It went from bear reports and other useful info like scales open or closed to bobba bowie (sp?) to silence now.

    A handy fellow informed me I forgot to screw my DEF cap back on today. So that was nice. CB can come in handy when you do boneheaded things lol

    Yep A driver let me know my side box under the sleeper was open yesterday, plus I knew an avalanche had closed atigun 100 miles before I got there.

    Why is scales closed or open useless info, I happen to like that info, and always have.
     
    adayrider, jamespmack and Oxbow Thank this.
