Where is everyone #5

Diesel is for Work, Gas is for getting to the track, Nitro Methane is for racing!

 

Not that. It's the storage shed that guy has his hand down it's pants that boggled my eyes like that.

 

I've hauled quite a few of those and weight varies. All of them were driven on with the boom resting on the top deck. All of the weight was on the axles. Don't guess I've ever seen one backed on.

 

When I said a cluster, I wasn't kidding. Don't like loads like this, but thankfully it was short. Have a second trip to do.

Honestly, if it was up to me I wouldn't even handle this job site waste, because now I have to find a place in the yard yo put it .




Editing this in... Despite yanking and pulling and doing everything I could via Armstrong to get that big gray pipe to settle in before I rolled, it wouldn't budge. By the time I got back to the yard, the front two straps had come loose.

 

An alcohol is for drinkin!

 

Got a break in the action here for a day or so. Guess that means I have time to be a mechanic.
He knocked his pump bracket loose by going over a water bridge too fast yesterday. Oops.

 

Test was in a Shaker daycab with autoshift. Empty B-trains too, lol.

I think I was more nervous than anything. Didn't even hunt for the clutch or stick either, which I was really surprised about.

Test went well. Their usual office trainer guy wasn't doing the tests today, had one of their senior drivers on light duties give it. I started out driving like a grandpa and he had to say something to get me moving faster, lol. But wide cab, autoshift, driving in Winnipeg on a complicated route, way out of my comfort zone, and I was surprised how far out it ended up being.

Got sent to give a sample, which up here costs a good buck, so I doubt I would have been sent if I did poorly. The testing guy was very nice, great sense of humour and told me I'm a good driver.

Didn't get any formal evaluation or anything more. They probably are required to wait for the test results before proceeding I assume, which is fine.

I'm at the point that I'm just done at the old place and can patiently wait to get this new path started now. Fuel hauling has a lot of learning to it, and from what the guy told me, I'm both nervous and quite excited at the same time. I love a good challenge and new things to do.

If all went well, I'm assuming I'll hear something tomorrow or Monday.

 

So where’s the cluster?

 

The cluster is the stuff I have to do that you don't. Like actually handle the material outside of securing and tarping it.
