    I remember my dad saying he tried getting into all the union LTL jobs and you weren't getting a job unless you knew somebody. He got in a small family run LTL company only because my mom's sister was dating the owners son

    It’s on fire, so it’s probably my fault.

    Wtf is wrong with people? The sad thing is, this was somebody's best idea. Out of all the options they had, this is the one They choose. Changing a tire on the fuel island, you gotta be kidding me.

    Likewise.

    A while back I found a post on TTR where someone had found the ohms for it. Get the right resistance and jumper in and you could fool it to thinking it's on even though it's unplugged. I'll be darned if I can find it again though.

    I have zero intentions of such things. Even if I buy a "new" truck, it won't be that new. Besides, we are all going to be forced into the all electric before too long. So when this one dies, I'll just retire. I need to find a way to realistically lighten this thing up. Not sure how though.

    The winds of change are gonna blow.

    Read an article yesterday that Orygun is looking to follow in California's footsteps when it comes to emissions control, along with a few other states. What was really eye roll worthy was how the article was worded in such a way as to make trucks sound Big-Evil. "126 people a year in Oregon die of cancers directly related to the EVIL DIESEL EXHAUST FUMES".

    They are trying to get rid of trucks and livestock. Did you see their new livestock laws?
