    You know it's bad when the guy who doesn't even drive on the road that much anymore and has never dragged anything but a box around knows it's bad.

    someone tagged me in a FB photo a while back, I've looked but can't find the pic. it was an older Cat, like a 46A, strapped down on a step deck with a strap every 8 inches the whole length of the cat. it was almost more strap than load. it wasn't going anywhere lol

    Lol better safe than sorry.

    I’ve done some questionable chain jobs but that’s been in a pinch.

    like someone takes your chains cut for my trailer and skid and roller like a douche.

    then I’m left with a couple 20ft chains and two binders and gotta make it work.

    Sounds like the state is shooting to put them out of business before the new year.

    Between the impound bills (towing and per day storage), Past due tolls, and loss of freight on board -- I doubt it's worth it to bail those trucks out.

    Wonder if they can even be released since the companies authority is suspended?

    I really really want to go home and go to bed. This day has taken entirely way too long. I even went in the warehouse and built orders for a few hours and didn't miss a move lol. I picked, built, and loaded two whole trailers by myself. Somebody really dropped the ball on staffing today.

    Request a pay raise, a dedicated new yard dog, a company paid vacation package to south padre island, and a covered Parking spot. When they ask about it, just tell them “ I am worth it”

    The covered parking spot is what seals the deal
