Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

It hasn't left me stranded or caused me to miss any loads. Same with the other two I had. Well the 17 model did blow the radiator at 650,000 miles, but my old company got it fixed in less than 24 hours.

 

It probably won’t get any better as the week goes on, especially if you’re near any large body of water. The campers and rv’s I had to pass today doing 40 mph in a 75 zone with gramps white knuckling the wheel makes me think I’m gonna take next holiday Friday off.

 

Thankfully I'm not going anywhere near a large body of water today. Spending the night in Le Mars, IA and I should be home in time for lunch

 

It's better behind gramps driving slowly than a younger highway hero showing off his new Sierra diesel dually pulling a 3 axle toy hauler with a bass boat and trailer behind it doing 75 on the highway who couldn't stop fast enough if he tried. All rvers either in a Class A or trailer pulling scenario should be made to have an endorsement on their DL before they make the purchase and go for it cold turkey. Truck drivers have to so they should too.

 

Ok mother nature...enough of this crap





I am south of Ft. Wayne

 

Could not agree more!!

 

Ever since I’ve become a truck driver I’ve really started to despise holiday weekends. I can’t stand everyone in their brand new pickups and Toy haulers and their boats. Part of me hates them because of all the new toys I can’t afford, and part of me hates them because now everyone needs 5 days off for what used to be a simple 3 day weekend. Even my boss had to take yesterday thru Monday off. Guess as a local fuel hauler we don’t need any help or support until Tuesday.

 

Same with me , I don't even have to look at the calender to know a holiday is coming anymore, people start driving like #### more than normal, big wrecks start to happen, get stuck in backups, yep must be a holiday coming.

 

I been getting the same treatment the whole week as well.. just a wtf level of stupidity going on

 

I concur w/you in Shipshewana.
