What did you learn today?

My fingers hurt just thinking about it.

 

I just learned that backing a 53' reefer with a sleepercab into a driveway with 5' ditches on either side off a street with only one lane snowplowed on a 6%grade with the trailer brakes constantly loosing air down to 30PSI, while cars try to pull in and out of the driveway isn't as easy as a customer thinks. *screams and slams my head against the steering wheel*



I also learned that when a WY trooper asks "is there a particular reason you didn't take the left and go to the port entry?" if you'll look him right in the eye and say "yes Sir, because it's stupid and I'll be honest with you, I was having an argument with my husband" makes him laugh. And when your husband then argues with you about handing you the permit book, bill of lading and the scale ticket from Loves.......the trooper will say "ooooohh I see the problem." And he will tear up the citation he was writing and then lecture your husband.


*blinks* I may move to WY.

 

Was he a good looking trooper Nana????????????

 

Actually he was! If I see him again do you want me to ask him to stop you too?????


I like their hats. Reminds me of the Ranger in the Yogi Bear cartoons when I was little.

 

That there is funny....god, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard....I am not sure which is funnier-your first reponse or the Bear laughing at it!!!!####, would you quit it....we won't even talk about your husband....

 

omg...I am going to need a stack of keyboards if I keep reading posts like this.

 

(How can any of us take them seriously wearing those Bear hats....it does make them look more friendly than your average bear)



I learned nobody wants to change a flat tire between midnight and 8:00 a.m on Highway 12 east of Litchfield MN, when it is 15 fricking degrees out. Had my tanker just filled with white liquid, and the outside drive tire is bulging like it has a hernia....

I drove it in to the Tire Pit in some little town, and they promptly fixed it at 8:00 a.m. when they opened....funny part was, they had an emergency number posted on their door (with the message, its $20 to call him out, which I was more than happy to pay) and I call twice during the night....and no answer and no response to my voice message. Why have an emergency number posted if you don't respond to it???? I was more than happy to pay a premium price for a midnight call out...hell...a hundred bucks would have suited me just fine to avoid 8 hours of down time ( I could have made to my delivery in 8 hours), instead of sleeping in my day cab....well, laying down - can't really sleep in a day cab too good.

I was happy to have the tire fixed for $32 and be on my way....late and a little less tired.

 

There is no such thing as left over bacon.......

 

Ms. Nana, you have to post that story in the Conversations With Cops thread! *howls laughter*

Does Pappaw need another vacation?








P. S. I learned that Masterlock has a dirty mind. Okay, I didn't learn that today, but it was reaffirmed.

 

Huh? :smt017
