    Just had a repower in GA. Is there a polite way to say “I’m $#^* my insides out” when someone keeps asking what’s wrong?

    Yep. Tell them exactly that. Make them sorry they asked. Be VERY descriptive.

    Get to knock another new state off our list. After we drop tonight in Macon, we're heading down to Jacksonville to pickup and delivery in VA. Not quite the long run I was looking for, but it'll keep us moving through the weekend.

    Roll out of Coachella at 03:00 this morning...enjoying my drive through the desert, wonder if I can make it to daylight before I have a cigarette...

    ABF wiggle wagon is passing me...BOOM!¡!!

    He blew a tire on one of the pups or the dolly right outside my window. As soon as I changed my britches, I had a smoke...

    Petro in Deming NM tonight.

    I use two words...gastric distress. Their imagination usually ends the conversation with "I hope you feel better".

    Only one was stupid enough to push for a better description. For him I had two more words...explosive diareah.
     
    Cerberus XVI and Rugerfan Thank this.

    Breakdown in El Paso. Roadhouse right next door to the motel. Football, steak, peanut shells on the floor. It sucks to be me.

    How about dispatch interrupts your 34 for a "favor" to help out a driver who didn't calculate his hours and distance so came up 50 miles short before running out his 70.
    You meet him at a truckstop to relay the trailer. He runs up, hands you the bills then runs away gets in his truck and leaves.
    You hook up and walk around to find a tire off the rim.

    You call his number and get "must have just happened" except 5 of 8 tires are below 75 warm, two above 95 and the flat.
    4 hours at a loves, air up the tires then 50 miles back to the yard.

    And it won't be the last time.
