Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

More shifting seats...

Safety Guy is now Equipment Manager and is reporting to our DDM... a new safety person is in training.

Of course, just when I was getting along with the old safety guy, now I gotta train up a new one... lol

stay safe out there!!!

 

O! Zap!
Me also.
At the beginning I did not get along with Tim but now he's cool.
What's the new guy's name?

 

So Tim is the new Bill?

 

Bill was replaced by, or rolled into, the DDM... so I guess they are splitting out Equipment from the DDM... or maybe recreating Bills old position?

 

Don't set your trailer brakes in the winter if you have been driving through snow and slush and what not cuz they will freeze up....I forgot to tell the team I swapped with to not set the trailer brakes and disconnect before I got there Monday night. After swapping first thing I did was release trailer brakes after hooking up and sitting til I gained hours this morning to move to hometime. But the brakes apparently were already frozen and I found that out trying to move this morning. Pouring rubbing alcohol in the lines didn't work so had to call breakdown and had to have a mechanic sent to get my trailer brakes unstuck. Id have crawled under myself if I had the proper tools or a torch to warm the brakes up.

 

Alcohol is usually useless in that situation. What happens is the brake linings freeze to the drum. BFH usually helps, as does a torch.

 

Banging the drums with a mini sledge will usually do the trick.

 

Currently on a military base,if I told you where they might have to kill me...

 

I am not at the level of checking inspection or registrations on every trlr yet(didnt drop that one),watch out your personal conveyance time,due to abusing it i no longer have it on the qualcomm,i dont think thats the right approach
