Well, here's your chance! (Dot and missing mudflaps)

Why the #### did I not thinkbof this?

Couple years ago I lost a mudflap in Calgary and it took me three days so I could comfortably cross the border. Finally found one @ a small shop called warrenboys.

Jesusssssss Christ.....

Lol

 

You scared everyone when you got all protective of that tranny driver in the other thread. Nobody wants to mess with you now......

 

Since you drive for a big carrier, and if you DO NOT slip seat, what you can do is ask for what we used to call a spare parts box or kit, or "care package". Usually one wiper blade, one (back then) headlight and one high beam, a spare air line (color no difference), and maybe the alternator belt, and a spare mud flap. Nowadays however, inventory being what it is at some companies, they may not do this anymore like "the old days". When I was on the road, and if one of my company drivers needed something that he did not have, I would call it in, oh yeah, pay phones, no cell, no Qualcomm, and tell them I was helping that driver. We would get "bonus points" for helping, then along with our fuel bonus, got some extra money for helping, like an extra 1/4 penny per mile on top of the fuel bonus. So "it paid" to have some spare parts and to help out, our own company drivers.

 

Pull the mudflap off the tractor and put it on the trailer. Just make sure you put some back on the tractor before you drive bobtail.

 

That works.

 

Well, as long as you don't get mean and YELL AT ME IN ALL CAPS like some folks do, I guess I'll give you a second chance....


As for your last statement, hell most companies nowadays are happy if their new drivers have a good, steady pulse.... To think they might actually know what a wrench IS, let alone how to use one, is just unheard of...... [/snark]
