Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

That is a load worth carping about....

 

I feel your pain on that one. Those no appointment loads either bite like yours did by putting the load on you too long, or the opposite, which is to schedule the load too early to make it given HOS or other factors.

 

There’s bad loads in the tanker world too. Today in Memphis, four compartment trailer, four different products, and four different tanks in four different parts of the customers property. Had to unload and load the hoses four times. Happens about once a year.

Most oil distributors unload the product themselves. The ones that we unload usually unload in the same spot and most loads are only one or two different products. Tanker yankin is easy money. Get dirty once in awhile and I love every minute of it.

 

maybe ssb should change his screen name to lucky.....lol. just ask yourself, did you die? lol.

 

Got my self into a pickle tonight but managed to get out

Pulled into a loves to check for parking and went up into this overflow area. Don't know what possessed me to even check up here cause there were trucks parked on the turn going in but I went.

Trucks in all spots AND up on the curb infront of the trucks. No way to even jackknife my way out without my tail taking someone's hood or scraping the side of someone's trailer.

Ended up having to blindly back down the curb and with all the tire marks looks like I wasn't the only one.

Took me 1 hour to get out cause my clutch completely overheated and started slipping on me. Looked like I was in a rodeo due to it throwing me all over the place so had to park it in the curb and let it cool down.

Also didn't help that my power steering went out. It's like these pumps stop working when at very low speeds in backs.

On the plus side, managed to still get a spot since someone pulled out of one. Had to man handle my steering wheel to get in there due to no power steering but managed.

 

That has to be the poorest configured Loves in existence. Which one is that? What a disaster of a design.
