Greater omaha express ..thread 2.

I don't think you would want to do it on this engine , theres 3 filters and I watched the mechanic do it looked like a pain in the can and without compressed air hard to reprime ..there's no lift pump on these engines .
Was told when I hired on my job is drive it , pre trip it , keep fluid levels up , keep it clean and call the shop if there's a problem.
I'm fine with that too cause if I wanted to go back to wrenching I'd get a job in the shop.

 

A rocky start Vic but can't say a bad word about greater O .
In fact with the delays I know if this was tyson/ibp or cargill they're would have been hell to pay but being a shippers truck all dispatch said was don't worry about it .

 

Yeah today sucked between bad roads , hitting nyc and long island just in time for rush hour and a gps that took my to a house for the address of sysco in central Islip NY .
Good news is they have lots of overnight parking and the gaurd at the gate was cool .

 

Yeah Vic I was a little surprised too .. apparently these techs these days don't look for the obvious , just computer screen .

 

Last 2 days wernt good but today sucked !
sysco in central Islip is very accommodating on parking and for sysco is pretty quik .
Stop 2 in rockville center was a restaurant on a 2 lane busy street with no dock and #### hard to get turned around .
Too late to get my 1st pick made on 39th street in Brooklyn so went to an old camping spot of mine at peninsula Blvd and Rockaway pike only to find fresh signs posted stateing that I will be immediately towed ...sob !!
Wound up heading back thru rush hour back out to Sysco to hide here for the night .
I told dispatcher I'll do long island if nothing else to do but id just as soon do the Bronx market and stay away from long island restaurants.
He agreed .
