    How did he remotely even THINK that diesel went in the washer fluid tank?

    I wonder if any drivers have dumped their piss jugs in the DEF tank, lol!

    Maybe he thought the diesel would keep the washer fluid from freezing....
    Can imagine what it would do when the diesel coagulated......:biggrin_2552:

    I really dont know. That same guy just got fired from CRST last week. He got his CDL and got a speeding ticket in a construction zone a few months later.

    I was just laughing at this post and my brother reminded me of a new driver I had working for me years back.
    We had a small Mercedes straight truck with a diesel engine.
    He filled the tank with gas.
    I later asked him why he ignored the big sticker next to the filler stem.that said DIESEL ONLY...
    Honest...he told me...
    are you ready?

    I don't speak German.

    Knight drivers have done this. When it happens, the entire fleet sees it on the Qualcomm. Face... palm...

    Y'all, if they required all of that, how would them ferners who'll drive 18hrs @ .12/mile get a job? :biggrin_25522:


    That's why those schools are so high dollar, brother! ;-)



    haha! After reading the first part, I'm betting they had to put a new power divider in the truck when he got to the next PM...:biggrin_2559:

    Seriously. The knight w
    Qualcomm messages slay me. Driver said "I thought I could make it" when asked why he topped his trailer under a 12' 6" clearance. That, and the DEF stories.

    I dread getting stuck in a driver lounge. I worry about how some drivers survive day to day.

    I hear common phrases, such as ... " I drive a 9 speed like it were a 10" and the other way around all the time.

    My favorite is the drivers telling their "fishing stories" claiming to get 10mpg in a neutered Volvo 670 at 75mph.

    The list goes on.
     
    jrjsi Thanks this.
