Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

As I sit here, waking up, getting ready to make coffee and start my day. I am feeling a breeze. I look up at the a/c controls. With both the front and rear fans in the off position, my a/c blue light is on, the recirc light is lit, and there is air blowing out of the dash...but the vent knob is pointing at the floor position(and the opti-idle has interior comfort in the off mode)...gawd I hate Junkliners.

 

Floor only

 

If it is, it's something new. I've done a handful of t'called loads, it's the 1st time I got a t'call msg after a preplan. And this load was available Friday

 

And of course, hooked up to my load and....it had a low tire. And it took 20 min for the auto inflate system to fill it up...I took my bottle of soap spray around it twice and couldn't find a leak(one tire kicked soft and jiggled like jello) and the white tire light was on. So the person who brought this in had to have seen it if their head was out of their ###. So to that person, I have a message for you. I hope you have 3 blowouts between now and the next time you deliver...in the middle of nowhere with no cell service!!!

YOU ARE A

(I couldn't find one with a middle finger salute)

 

Not yet, but I do miss my WyMoore Mack, and it's APU.

I would buy that possibility if all 8 were low, but it was just the one tire and the only thing I didn't check was the valve stem and it's seals. I have had a couple trailers lately that had the valve stem seals dry rotted enough to leak. I wouldn't be so pissey with the driver except, the load came down from Anderson, and was dropped Friday. Either they drop/hooked to it and just drove off with a low tire, or they were pulling it in and live loading it, but if they had it for a while, then they should have seen the low air light at some point. If you're dropping it at the shop, write the #### thing up. The trailer I dropped was missing one of the chains that tie the door open...1st thing I did before unhooking from it was go in the shop and write it up.
