    Yeah, that, and the

    Probably 100 service calls i've made where the trailer brakes locked up because the trolley valve was bumped. Most drivers didn't even know what it was.

    Or the service call because the truck dies when the guy lets out on the clutch. Guy parked on an 8% hill and trying to take off in high range.

    Ad nauseum

    Used to Carry a Dish Soap Container with Sprayer, wen I were pullin' Tandem and Spread Axle Skateboards.
    New DAWN Liquid and some specified amount of Clean WATER from an In Building Tap, not fuel island.
    Learned that trick from some Older Hand in 2001.

    When I was upgraded to Air Assist Pin Release, the Soapy Sales solutions disappeared.

    Amazing. Gotta love people like that, seriously. Once told a new welder to go find us the “tube stretcher”, he was looking for well over an hour

    I was that guy once on a hill. My first week as a O/O, it was like existing with immediate anxiety that was fully the entirety of who you are as a human body

    I laughed, then gave him some dry slide and showed where to spray it.
