the jist of it

You know, I think those guys you were referring to did post useful posts, Mack. It's just not useful to Opie. But hopefully someone else will figure out what he continues to get wrong.

Okay, here it goes in cornbread language: what happened to Opie? He got fired. Why did Opie get fired? He keeps getting his truck stuck. Why does he keep getting his truck stuck, gang? Can anyone tell me? @Hurst and @Lepton1 gave him technical advice, but he's not really interested in techniques, but more interested in lining up his next gig.

Forget about company policies set forth by desk jockeys that cannot do your job. Does everyone know how to put on tire chains? Not saying that you have to use them, I'm saying that you should know how to use them.

I know that tech talk bores the hell out of Steeringwheelholders. But Mr Lepton is talking money. Do you people know how to operate the truck? There's more to it than being able to hold the steeringwheel. Want to protect your job? Want to get paid? Want to be the Go To a Guy because you prove that you always get through, able to solve problems yourself instead of sitting around digging for gold and sniffing your fingers while the desk jockeys send emails around, wasting your day? Know how to work your rig.

Does anyone have any questions about the inter axle lock? (I'm going to put him n spot, but he's a good hand, so I don't think he will mind) PM Mr Lepton. He knows what he's doing. If he didn't, he would have grenaded the truck's drivetrain in that mud. Be the solution, not the problem.
