In some ways I miss the old days of "just make it look good on paper". In other ways I'm glad I don't have to work/live like that to make a buck.
That sucks. Trucking sure can be hard on a body. There is a reason the life expectancy of a truck driver is about 10 years lower than a normal...
Funny you ask. Umm no. He told me where to hold it but not too close because if it heats up the fitting too fast it will break. Well it was...
I wouldn't recommend a flare either but that was maintenance's idea. Safety first, unless it requires a road call.
Roehl will give you a line of BS about applying the Johnny bar/trolley brake slightly to warm up the brakes and remove condensation before parking...

Don't they have scanners pretty much everywhere they fuel?
That is true. We both live by ports so it probably easier for us than others who do not.
I wouldn't bother with the TWIC if not required. I was one of the first guys to get one at Roehl when they wanted us to get one. I never used it...
It is pretty scary and says a lot about the industry if ten days out with a trainer is considered among the best. It used to be 20 plus days with...
I had a couple of trucks that the antenna worked like this. Then I got a newer truck and it wouldn't work. I just taped the puck antenna to the...
