    Gear ratio in a straight manual sector is different from a power or hyd assist.

    4 hours give or take. There's one agent that does pay, where you unload them.

    Tire count is about 1300. Everything from 22.5 for the truck, which are the easiest, to tires for rodent cars.

    The worst are SUV's and light trucks.

    They are all chained together. You have to kind of break them apart.

    Then pull out, lift, turn about 180 degrees, lift, bounce it off another tire so it rolls to the back of the trailer.

    Those ones that are like 50 or 60 pounds, and they are the most, are just a biaznitch after awhile.

    Haven't done one of those for about 2 years.

    Like to think I'm still a pretty tough old man.

    Wouldn't like to prove it having a stroke unloading tires.

    Our load to the southern indigenous mega portion of THE COMMUNIST STATE has canceled.

    BUT

    By happenstance we have gleaned a superior load back to the most awesomest place.

    The OM is pleased.

    Guess who is back in the same motel room....

    Three guessed and first veto dont count.

    So it wasn’t the water pump, though it was pouring antifreeze out weep hole.

    Was the bracket the pump mounts on under the gasket had a crack in it, cause a water hose effect through the weep hole.

    New pump now, new pulley... now the spout is in Dallas, will be here tomorrow........

    Hotel still full in walking distance, lady wouldn’t get me a shuttle ride til like 1700.

    Luckily some dude working on the paint/awning was inside and gave me a ride as he was working on this motel and was headed there.
    So, i’m back in the same room again.


    Flashback!!!
    Not stuck at airport but SPEEDCO!!!

    Been several years, used to haul between LA and Freemont. Two people that know what to do, 2 maybe 3 hours. 53 open top trailer. These were all car tires, so like 1 1/2 bazillion of them.
