The jouney of a nut, and why you should carry tools.

great story.

that other werner guy would have turned his ankle when he stepped on the nut, therefore couldn't unload his truck and had to abandon the load and they fired him

everyone gets what they want out of life LOL.

 

Good for you, many are lazy & refuse to do such a thing, they will set back & call road service. I always carried a tool box, & a few nuts & bolts, & a few parts. It saved my day many a time.

 

I always pick up nuts and washers when I see them. People say thats hoarding. I tell em then I am a super hoarder come oooooon. When your out on your own you learn to rely on yourself. A few tools and a select assortments of parts will get you home without losing your days wages. You can get pretty creative with what you have in a pinch.

 

What's your question?

 

One day 7 years ago I was in the chicago suburbs. waiting to get loaded I was walking around my truck & noticed 1 of the 2 -3/4 nuts holding my brake chamber on one of my drives was gone. scanning the area I looked close at a old fence just 8 ft from me enclosing a weed field & empty lot. on one of the fence post brackets it had a nut, just the size I needed. got my wrench out,... you know the rest of the story.

 

my cousin is the same way, hell pick up whatever as long as it is still usable, though we tease him about , usually he has the last laugh
