Where is everyone #5

I saw the first part of this, and I thought you would have reacted the way I would’ve reacted, but based on what you’re saying here doesn’t sound like it.


My take: far as the agent, It aint on you to be solving his problems from hiring guys who end up broke down. You got to get what you get for you to cover the whole round. Don’t matter if “he ain’t got that much in it” or not.

Some folks might say that I am a short sighted banging someone real hard to do a recovery: if they ain’t got enough money to pay for recovery when #### goes bad, how good of a rate could it be when things go good?

 

Dang Shooter, I hate that for you! I'm sure not as bad as you do.

If you need parts or something from over this way don't hesitate to let me know, call or text me anytime if you still have my #, I'd be more than happy to run something out to ya, I'm due for a little road trip anyway.

 

Just something in me that when I hear somebody is in a bad spot, I want to help. Anyone can breakdown at anytime. And I'd hope someone would be willing to help out if it were me.

In this case, the guy whose truck broke down needs out from under the load, and the agent needs the load moved.

He's paying a decent rate for one way, and it's a spot that's not completely awful for us getting loads out. The agent was basically offering a little more than fuel cost to get back, plus having to leave my trailer at a truck stop made that option unacceptable.

Maybe I'm soft, but I'm not the type to try and kick a man when he's down. And since whatever I get actually comes out of the broke down driver's pay, I just don't have it in me to treat a guy that way.

Frac. I absolutely HATE feeling like the biggest dummy in the room. ( should've been on a diet earlier so I had a shot at being a smaller dummy. But it looks like I'm the only dummy here anyhow, since nobody else is axing questions. sigh. )

Perfessor Snow ? I got lost on a curve back there when you said "must stay under pressure in a negative atmosphere ". In the tank you're running I can't visualize pressure and negative at the same time.
Negative equates to a vacuum of pressure ?
Pressure equates to a surplus of pressure over and above the static pressure of the surrounding atmosphere ?
Can you help me out Perfessor ?
I'm feeling the negative vibes from the eyeballs of the crowd and it's making me feel under pressure for axing a dumb question.

 

Everyone Ive talked to says they're always multiple drops. Yet Ive only ever had 1 drop for them. Weird.

 

P.S. I don't think your trailer looks gay at all, except for around that multi-colored bumper sticker..
Thanks Perfessor.

 

Usually 4 or 5 drops /load. I've seen some with just 2, but never a single drop.

 

Hate to hear about the valve. Glad it happened so close to your yard. Hoping for the best and the least expensive fix to get going again Shooter.

 

Maybe Im the weird one then, lol. I ran them over to Louisiana 1st of the year to a powersports place. I was thinking I ran a 2nd load, but it got cancelled or something. But pretty sure it was a single drop as well.

4 or 5 drops would be a b!tch lol

 

@ShooterK2 be sure to check the exhaust side of the turbo
