    I kinda had one of them days yesterday myself. Looked down my voltage Guage is at 12. Temp is normal, A/C is blowing cold. Turn everything off and keep riding to the pee lot, back in a spot and roll the hood. 20 minutes later I have washed my hands and pulling out. I did have a company guy walk by and all but called me an idiot.

    I had my own trailer back when I hauled meat, so I was generally stuck waiting around the plant for 18-24 hours. You should have seen the looks I'd get when I'd run the overhead while hanging out!

    Good thread.

    I'm always willing to pass on the minimal information that I've learned, at my stage of the game.

    I don't expect people to take any, or all of it away for consideration, but what I do find more often than not - is that people simply don't listen, or don't understand communication basics.

    You talk , I listen. Vice versa . And no talking at all is ok too.
     
    Ruthless, Feedman, TripleSix and 3 others Thank this.

    That last part really gets me: amazing how many people don't listen; they just wait for their turn to talk, regardless of what may have been said right before them.

    I know, right? It's like they're just waiting for their turn to talk, no matter what was just said.



    :D

    @bertita1986 ... check out this thread... in reply to your questions in your thread.

    Besides, this one could always use a good bump; winter is coming quick.
