    They were bad before this latest crusade with the skinny P.C. actor. But once he came on board the quality took a significant dive

    My problem is, even if I could chew it. The candy bar would be gone before I even died.

    The office is saving up to make you feel needed and wanted.

    They are going to release about 30 trailers to move about 30 minutes before they go home.

    One a minute sounds about right. Didn't you radio in "give me a minute"?

    That's they way it usually seems to happen. Last night I was standing next to my truck and heard six lift gates go up and no moves called. I radioed in asking if they were just gonna wait until they had every door ready to go at once and then cry it's taking too long.

    Problem is they run a skeleton crew on Friday because it's a light day. This is a day off for me but I'm covering vacation for another guy. Pay day and not a scheduled day for most guys in the warehouse = ain't nobody showing up lol.

    So I'm in a much newer truck than normal. Freightliner m2 like the old one but this one is automatic and has like 10x the power. Weird thing is that it feels like it has an exhaust brake that is on and sounds like it but I can find no button or switch to turn it off. It isn't bothering me but I just got curious if maybe they can program one to stay on/switch on automatically?
     
    WesternPlains and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

    Found it, I'm a dumb ###. The button looks like it has a cable end on it like it's for some kind of electrical device.

    Yeah, the old Colonel had some class. This new joker is a clown and insulting to watch.
