Ta da!!!!

Dude said they're full of static from shipping. Takes about 3 days for them to unstick.

The OM is pleased.

We got to go now.

Lol... I so thought you quoted a different post of mine last night, guess I was already half asleep.

So, as to the post you actually quoted... Lets say I'm rather experienced in getting soaked, lol

A CRST just nudged my trailer while trying to pull-through the space next to me.

I ran out there in my skivvies, fortunately another driver saw what she was about to do and stopped her. Thus no damage to the trailer.

As I'm walking back to my tractor, to finish getting dressed so I can grab some breakfast, some.....some...some....DUDE comes swinging in from the front side and cut it WAY short.

I glared at him until he backed out and went away.

I'm wide awake NOW......and even though Swift has successfully negotiated the pull through next to me, I'm outta here.

Oh, by the way, after I finished typing my Chester's Chicken decision tree yesterday, the tain suddenly stopped, and the sun came out.

I went and got my chicken, got back to the truck, and the tain started again.

Every time I type a gripe on WIIS, the problem magically disappears!

You are building quite an indebtedness, might want to check your high house limit.

I couldn’t find any fuel tank steps for my old arn at the junkyard. Many different configurations but nothing that worked. Finally broke down and ordered new ones from 4 states. And some new fender extensions as one is beat up pretty bad.

As a trucker and part time nice guy, I told the LTL company I would pick up at the terminal so the driver didn’t have to try and navigate a trailer into my neighborhood. Well, figured I would be home so I told them I would meet the driver somewhere and offload. Problem was I had dates mixed up and I was going to Buffalo.
I called Holland (YRC) customer service line and of course it’s an overseas call center (good job YRC, ruin those bought out companies) and the fella can’t get ahold of the terminal. So he sends an email. Driver calls next day. Apparently email never got sent or it was ignored.

I apologize to the driver being he has to move my crap around all day (and it was a long pallet). He was very professional and understanding. Need more like him.

I set up another time that I will be off to meet driver. Turns out that driver changed his run. New guy doesn’t have the freight. They actually couldn’t find it and didn’t know which terminal it was sent back to.

After many phone calls to me, they find it but don’t tell me. Different driver calls Wednesday wanting to deliver. I was just off for FOUR freaking days!!!!!! Nobody is home. WTF man?!?! Why is everything so GD difficult?!?

Luckily, he had a box truck. Told him to drop in driveway. Pallet was light (150lbs) and my girl could break it down when she got home. He told me my verbal confirmation was good enough no signature required. I relay that information to my MIL is who babysitting my son.

Driver knocks on door and needs signature
