    . When I did it it was with multiple compartment trailers if the whole load wouldn’t fit you only drop what fits call dispatch tell them it’s a no hold and usually by the time you finish they tell you where to take the balance. Common problem with fuel hauling because of the low caliber personnel you have to deal with.

    That's a good thing when you're working hourly.

    While I was greasing trucks, looking over everything getting ready for Monday, a guy came in and parked with his granddaughter.

    She was running around and che and I talked for a bit, then he said, “You know what the worst thing about being a grandpa is?”
    I said that I didn’t know.
    He said, “Going to bed with a grandma.”

    Dude, the Casa de OM is not even a year old and you're getting rust rings? The OM needs to invest in a whole house water filtration system.

    A truck driver is heading west across the Arizona desert. He has been driving all night, and as the sun starts to rise, he feels the need to stop and commune with nature.

    He pulls to the side of the road, parks, and walks out into the sage brush.
    As he is standing there, looking around at the beauty of the early morning, he notices a lever sticking out of the ground. After a few moments, he walks over, walks all the way around, and then reaches out to grasp the lever. Just as he does, he hears a voice say, "Don't touch that lever."

    The driver jumps about two feet off the ground, and as he comes down, he looks around. No one is to be seen. Thinking it was just his imagination, he again reaches for the lever. Again the voice yells, "I said don't touch that lever!" Being more prepared, the driver senses the location of the voice and looks down under a sage brush. There he sees a small snake.
    The driver, in much astonishment, said, "Was that you that just spoke?"

    The snake said, "Yes. I have to keep people from touching that lever. If the lever is moved, it will be the end of the world."
    The driver, still rather astonished, said, "What is your name? And will you talk on TV?" The snake said his name was Nate and that he wasn't interested in going on TV; anyway, he had to stay and watch the lever to see that it wasn't moved. The driver said, "Look, I will get the networks to send out camera crews. That way, you can inform the entire world about the danger of the lever."

    Nate thought that over and allowed as how there was a great deal of sense to the idea. The driver, true to his word, got the network camera crews out. They put on broadcasts in which Nate warned the entire world of the dangers of moving the lever.

    A few weeks later, another truck driver was going through the area. He was following an oil tanker, and the tanker sprang a leak. When the driver's truck hit the slick, it went out of control, and he found himself headed straight for the lever. He remembered seeing Nate on the TV telling about the lever and so he knew that if he hit it, he would cause the world to end. He strove, with all his might to maneuver the truck. Finally, at the last moment, he was able to swerve, but he ran over Nate, the snake, and killed him flat!
    The truck driver was heard to say "Well, better Nate than lever."
