    "Oh. Gosh. Is something wrong with that load?"

    This is what dispatch said about this load I'm stuck with.

    Somebody tried to deliver it a few days ago, dispatch never said a word.

    That last paragraph is so true! One thanks wasn't enough! We need to learn to NOT make decisions out of emotion. It will cost you in the long run!

    That's just a good time right there. Remember what you said about building character...

    I'll never understand the absolution mentality; never.

    To the OP, God loves you no matter what you do.

    He will love you, just not your decision sometimes.

    Sorry, without turning this into a religious thing, his love is unconditional, period.

    God has nothing to do with it.

    Taking religion into trucking is something that will cause excessive problems and divisions among all sorts of people. Nothing destroys a thread faster than to bring that up.

    Just for future reference... getting rid of that urine smell was actually simple... first, any truck you get whether it smells of urine or not.. I would recommend you go over it with a black light and a good disinfectant.

    White vinegar and water is a great and cheap disinfectant that is really good for getting ride of urine odor... mix up a spray bottle with water and white vinegar and spray it all over let it soak in and wipe away.. then put a few open boxes of baking soda around your truck to obsorb odor and and moisture from the water and vinegar spray... if you used a lot of water and vinegar then I would put one of the damp-rids in like you put in your basement to collect moisture.

    In your case and suspecting that the cabinets is where the urine and smell was.. I would of very liberally sprayed the cabinets with water and vinegar and just used a damp-rid in each cabinet to absorb the water.. that way the vinegar would have time to neutralize the odor...

    This situation also shows the complete lack of character displayed in the office end of this life.

    That photo reminds me of some messes I have had to clean up. Some of my making and many of another driver. I hated beer and cola loads for that reason. Pallets loaded high and trust me they will tip over EVEN if blocked!
