Where is everyone #5

This is getting to be like a “who’s on third” type of deal.

 

Nah, it is the son who got blamed for everything coming up, making sure you all understand his finger prints are not on this anywhere.

 

[QUOTE="OLDSKOOLERnWV, post: 11955965, member: 76004"Sure like to set down and exchange wits with that guy….

Hmm, think he is probably unarmed.

 

Not bad, but I'm also pretty far down that road of learning through mistakes and hoping none of these mistakes cost me my CDL one day, but that's how it is sometimes in life. You sometimes get knowledgeable, caring instructors/trainers throughout life and sometimes you have to figure it out on your own and how there isn't any serious setbacks while learning on your own

 

This was too much work editing all of these LOL. I hate electronics sometimes!

 

@OLDSKOOLERnWV and yes it was his idea. He makes himself the GPS a lot of times and all I do is drive. I don't actually do much of anything other than drive and open doors to the trailer actually

Oh yeah not to mention I got pissed off with him last night because he told me just take I-24 WB. Okay well what about after that? Oh you have awhile which I admit I did, but then it comes to 57 (no more 24 right there). You either go 57 SB or NB. I asked and he said just stay on 24. He wasn't paying attention which I didn't care but don't tell me to stay on something that is no longer a road unless you want to be sleeping in the ditch (just an expression lol....no worries). So I just made my own decision and took NB toward Chicago. Then I decided I would go from there. I know general cities along the way to know what interstates I need to take (if it would've been state routes that's another story). Well later he wakes up and asks where we were at. I told him 57 NB approximately X miles from Mt. Vernon and X miles from Chicago (approximately btw). He said to take 70 when it comes up I said okay and then he said wait nevermind take 64 which will turn into 70. Okay. Anyways, that was the whole deal last night. Drove up until I had an hour and 45 on my clock. Stopped at the last rest area in Missouri

 

What is a case tractor BTW? I've heard of case trans.....wait I don't think that sounds right. Umm transfer cases whatever those are. Something with a vehicle....

 

Okay I tried to be smart and look up the whole transfer case and what it is, and then it mentioned drivetrain which I thought was the engine but it isn't so I looked that up and then got more confused. But the transfer case takes power from.....I forgot what and with the driveshaft gives power to the rest of the wheels I guess?? I suppose that is only for four wheel drive on regular cars? The drivetrain consists of a bunch of different parts that work together apparently. The driveshaft is that big hollow tubing that usually is underneath the catwalk I know that.

God I really sound dumb after this.

 

Made it back to Fort Smith to take this ridiculous ELDT Training for HazMat just to be able to take the written exam.

Supposed to be 4hrs training (I've read the book already) and 164$. Paid the 164$ and they handed me the same book the DMV gave me.

Told em I'd already read it, give me the exam.

15 minutes in and out. $164 for some ridiculous lobbyists donating money to candidates, making this BS included in legislation.

At least they didn't waste my 4 hours.

 

Where it says trucks to 64, you can make a right and go over 2 blocks and make a left, roll straight down passed Heiners bakery and around the corner right up on to 64….. no tight bridges, no low underpass….
