    If anyone's interested, it was actually William G Allen that invented the Allen wrench.

    Yup not going to like that

    Get routed to the northeast please

    Still not going to like that swearing. OM should make you wash your mouth for such horrible posts.

    Wow! Another freightliner lover. :biggrin_25514:

    Wondering how long until DOT sees it. On the other hand................. Bwahahahahahhahahahahhaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Be cheaper to put a small 1500 watt heater in the cab. Just a hunch you had heat or defrost on. Making the window expand or the gasket for the windshield more pliable. It is one of the resaons I would want to own. I wouldnt need to justify the reasoning to maintenance why the gasket needs replacing.

    I guess I should have followed up with some context on my picture, I was actually showing the guy in the Cascadia parked before the pump and nowhere to be found. When the flatbed in front of me and moved up I pulled up got out to get fuel and the guy finally appeared and pulled up to the pumps.

    Of course me being me, I thanked him for blocking the pump and all the other trucks trying to get fuel. Immediately started cussing me up one side and down the other telling me that he was in the bathroom because he's sick. So I told him that's what parking spots are for that you're supposed to park not block a pump and if he's so sick then what's he doing driving. After that, it was just him yelling at me in broken English about ####ing me or some such nonsense.

    Had a truck pull up behind me at a fuel island. Told me: I pulled up behind you because you have the pumps going. I never pull up if the truck isn't actually pumping. Those guys are parked. You're likely going to fill up. Then move forward. You're likely considerate. No lines in fuel tanks are a sign of no consideration.

    Mega company trainers and students I'm usually kind of polite to if the pumps are busy, I just kind of give him a heads-up of "hey y'all are blocking the pump and there's a bunch of trucks waiting".

    This guy however followed me all the way around to the right side of my truck as I was fixing to put coolant in the reservoir. That's where I draw the line of walking away versus about to smack somebody in the mouth with my winch bar.

    Truth be told, I haven't had more than two days out of a truck since end of last year. I'm getting burnt out and every little thing sets me off it seems
