Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Lol I'm doing exactly that!

 

I literally laughed out loud when I read this post, so true @ncmickey lol.

One thing I've noticed in this thread is that Snackbar likes to make factual statements and then some forum members will automatically assume that he's complaining.

I'm too lazy and too tired to find exact examples but it usually goes something like this:

Snackbar: My opti-idle went out on me last night.

Forum member: Snackbar why are you whining again, it's never going to get any better there?

When in fact Snackbar never "whined", he just stated a fact. Again that's not an exact quote (and I'm not talking about his most recent post a few days ago about the opti-idle, where he is clearly angry that particular time lol) but that's a "thing" that I've definitely noticed in this thread. Snackbar will give a factual statement and then certain forum members automatically assume that he's "complaining" or "whining" or "crying" about something, when none of us even know what kind of mood Snackbar is in when he writes this stuff.

 

How does southern va and i40 tn do with clearing snow? Rolling out just after noon

 

Average at best in TN, if there’s say 2-3 or more inches of snow.

 

It's not the factual statements about events - it's his reaction to them. If he is actually talking to mechanics/operations the way he describes the encounters, it's little wonder he doesn't get good results. A lot of his posts read like "idiot cut me off so I rammed him into a gaurd rail".

He could have looked at getting a rookie manager as an opportunity- teach the rookie how to be a good manager and what's expected in the role. Instead he went full bore on the first mistake and soured the relationship before it could even begin.

 

I'm currently on a 3 stopper beer run around Washington DC and Baltimore.

Hoping everything goes well since each stop on the apt is set 2 hours apart from each other.

Question now is where to park in Baltimore. There is the TA in town but I hear it's always dirty and you have to pay to park there plus it's cash only.

Depending on where my next load picks up, I'll have to either head south to Richmond or out West along 68 till I find someplace.

Also they sent me a msg saying I need a special alcohol permit to enter Maryland which is truck specific but have yet to receive it. So we will just have to see if I can skip around and deliver without getting caught.

Currently at our Lenoir terminal getting more work done on the truck.
