    So are you going to get that picture of the truck in fall colors?

    I think I'll end up passing on that since I live in "the evergreen state" and drive back and forth to "the desert states"

    The only thing around here that does not turn to a sickly shade of yellow (that is supposed to change color) is the poison oak. Or if they lift the burn ban I can park the truck with the slash piles in the background as I burn them.

    So today got a Level 2 at Raton with a placard load, complete with cargo check.

    Passed.

    When the trooper walked out, and the sign said park, I asked Mincy "So, you gonna handle this?"

    She got under the sleeping bag.

    So then this agent calls that I do a lot of stuff for.

    Mincy answers the phone. I hear "No, that's not even in the universe. "

    I said, "What are you doing? Put the phone down."

    Then I hear "Yea, ok he'll do it for that."

    I'm going "PUT THE F PHONE DOWN NOW."

    So now I'm booked out for another week. All I really want is a few days off and to try a Teriyaki Bowl.

    How did it come to this?

    At least you can put the blame on the cats.....

    As the truck owner I'm not sure who is lazier the dispatcher or the property manager/driver........
     
    Dave_in_AZ Thanks this.

    Landstar gonna start giving FREE 6 month unpaid vacations from hauling hazmat for anyone that fails a hazmat inspection.

    It's about time they started to do something to cull the herd.

    So talked to some................dude? Stooge? I dunno, need a poll, today at a receiver.

    I asked who the agent was he had the load for...."I don't know. My wife does all that."

    Ok. So I told him who his agent was.

    So he's whining greatly about his truck and DEF trucks in general.

    It's KW 700. T700??

    So he's on and on, had it deleted, blah, pos, blah, his old Freighty with a CAT, blah.

    Says he has $40K invested in the truck after purchase in just a few years, $6500 turbo blah.

    Says that model is infamous for several things and he's had them all.

    But said it has a built-in GPS navigation that is just too cool. :biggrin_1square5:

    So, I've decided too separate this year's Darwin Awards into driver and agent categories.
