    leftlanetruckin....true that!!! Diagnosing and actually fixing and or repairing something is a thing of the past...most replace it...if that doesn't fix it...then replace something else. But then again...thats how they are taught.

    And truckmech...knew exactly what you meant and had NO problem reading what you wrote...I use periods WAYY to much myself. HAHA.:biggrin_25522:

    Sorry truckmechanic, I didn't know you were using one of those darned smartphones.

    And in my defense, I was one of those drivers who would 'bribe' the mechanics with pizza when they had to do alot of work on my rig.....

    Man that is so true!
    If that auto correct is the thingy that finishes the spelling for you. I hate to try to send a text because of that. Is there a way to turn that off on an iPhone?

    Oh yeah, short workday; at 0930hrs I loaded (tanker) in Lake Charles, LA, to deliver in Crosby TX @ 1300hrs. This put me on I-10 for the big weather, between Vidor and Winnie, TX we were down to 20 mph a couple of times. Stopped raining, and sun came out for a while during unload. On return home, more rain and funnel cloud was spotted around 8mm, (Vinton, LA); wind almost blew me off the road- talk about elevated pucker factor!
    After I returned home, was intending on cutting grass in my pasture, but with all the water, the fish were getting tangled in the bush hog. lol

    Makes me glad I never got one. Best thing I ever did since coming in off the road was having my cellphone turned off....permanently!

    brsims...all my drivers need to do is bring me a mountain dew...lol. ALWAYS hits the spot!!

    droy...we had three drivers coming back from OK. One brushed a guardrail because wipers shorted during the monsoon.

    PROPS to all you drivers battling it for us!! Day in day out to get the load where it needs to go. Although mechanics job sucks when truck comes in dripping with driveline problems...or you are out on the yard trying to get the lights on the trailer to work right...lol. :biggrin_25513:
