mercer transportation

OK so I don't think I'll ever complain about tarping again. After waiting over 5 hrs for them to start loading me. I was loaded and secured in 22 mins. Closed the tarp and secured it in 6 mins and was on the road. It being the first time I actually used it I'm pretty sure I'll get that time down.

Now on a side note. Got a call last week telling me I should take a look at the truck show vids on the FB page. No explanation just told to watch them. So today I finally did (with 5 hours to kill why not right?). Now I know I always said Mercer is always feeding us and stuff. But did someone really have to post a vid of basicly me going threw the chow line? LOL. I need to be more careful around there. At least it wasn't of me scarfing cheesecake.

 

I had a pm at a peterbilt in KY a month or so.....Two weeks ago looking things over with the engine I noticed oil residue on one oil filter and below. Come to find out the filter was loose and leaking oil.

 

With your less physical daily work out now you just might have to walk around the parking lots to get some exercise. I see some drivers have lounge chairs in their trailers.

 

I park on the back row. That has to count for something. Ummm I do have a lounge chair :-/

 

I got a fold up canvas camping chair with dual beer, i mean cup holders. Does that count?

 

Well that's actually what I have. LOL

 

Well I have one also, but I have been loading steel inside buildings a couple times and have seen lounge chairs on the deck of some conestogas. Heck one time I saw an exercise bike. As for parking in the back row. One time when I was a trainer my trainee made a comment to the training coordinator about me always parking in the back row. I fixed that.....I stopped training. Still park in the back row.

 

Ok, so the truck is definitely fixed. I've been above 8 mpg all week, used very little DEF, pulled Tehachapi with 25k on the deck above 45mph. I'm happy, but as a truck driver, I feel it is my obligation to find something to b---- about, so... took them long enough.

 

At least it's fixed now!

 

Don't mind him. He is just saying that he is very happy, that's all.
