    Talked to the mechanic last night. He has found a few problems in my transmission but not THE problem as of yet.
    The gas truck I'm driving has a few issues. It SEEMS to be when it gets good and hot.
    MAYBE it just acts up when it feels like it.
    Like I said this morning I got a pick up over in Huntsville. The truck usually doesn't act up before 1pm.
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    I'm under a tree outside SDV waiting for the other shoe to drop.
    Earlier today he asked if this truck had a Oosekneck connection.
    I said yes. He said good click.
    The morning run went off without a hitch.
    Then I grabbed a 5 gallon Hazmat sample and took it every bit of 5 miles.
    Then not too far from there I got a bag with two rope slings in it and took that all the way up to NW Houston off FM529.
    Then I was going to Murphy for a Hazmat going to Emirates and a crate going to Air France.
    The crate got too big and heavy for my truck. And another of our drivers (who is not Hazmat) had taken the Emirates.
    So now I'm waiting and nervous about what he might send.....

    One of our drivers got stranded at a dock yesterday because the LG wouldn't cooperate. I called the specialists, but one was on vacation, the other tried calling the driver back, but by then Roadside had got there and got it so he could get back to the yard. All our LG's are so old and constantly have to be worked on. This particular LG is called "the problem child". I told them yesterday it needs an exorcism.
