What would I do? Well I would roll over and go back to sleep because I am having a nightmare. I no longer drive.
Dave_in_AZ, Lepton1, Dan.S and 2 others Thank this. -
I’m curious how much chain pay you got for fixing the truck yourself?
Edit: Did the FM offer you a free cat for being a good boi?Dave_in_AZ and Lepton1 Thank this. -
if i recall, i had a few of those in a small tool kit of small parts i once carried with me. another thing i took along were E clips, that hold the wiper arms onto the wiper transmission, on a freight shaker i had. those clips would rust, rot and fall off, then i'd have no wiper on that particular side.
yes, any auto parts store has those "T" tittings, and elbow, as well as straight, to repair a washer hose.
but if this happens again, raise a pant leg, and hitch hike........word of caution, shaved legs, gets you weirdos....Dave_in_AZ and Lepton1 Thank this. -
1. Park the truck.
2. Clean out all items
3. Post a rant in Bad Companies Thread
4. Call the state DOT office you are in and report the owner for unsafe equipment. -
Read the full disclosure below first.
**Tongue and cheek, not intended to be my real opinion **
I think the real blame should be placed fairly on the terrible rates, brokers, ELD’s, the government, lack of free parking, trucks parked on the fuel island and possibly the four wheelers. Your cat also may be playing with the wiper switch while you sleep causing pre mature failure. Have you contacted the broker to authorize chain pay before you go any further? If they don’t pay we need a nationwide strike immediately. This type of BS may possibly drive some of us out of business.Nothereoften, Dave_in_AZ, Lepton1 and 4 others Thank this. -
