While waiting outside the doctor’s office on 1431 in Cedar Park for the wife, I had some entertainment.

It took the tow only 30 minutes to arrive, and another 20 to get him hitched up in the center lane and away....

That does not appear to be Galveston.

That hot load of freight will just have to wait.

Rock haulers. Pffft.

Heh.... saw a show on Discovery called “Humongous Moves” about disassembling a restored WW2 Spitfire in England, packing it in a shipping container that was sent to the US on a ship and then transported via truck to an aviation museum. Driver said he had hauled a lot of different cargoes, but never a Spitfire. Lol

Well done.

Sorry I don’t have a pic, but witnessed a tractor trailer making a right hand turn at intersection, mashing the fuck out of the front end of a suburban that some dumbass was driving right up behind the rig as he swung out wide left to make the corner. He had his turn indicators on in plenty of time.  Other driver just flat out not paying attention…

 

Frustrating seeing a hardworking motherfucker’s day get messed up like that.

Some of my boys doing work on the new moody arena. They are hauling out of Heldenfels in San Marcos.

So, while you wait for those guys to unload, do you just chill in the sleeper with your dick in your hand, or do you have to help/supervise the unloading?

The rates are ridiculous right now. Wonder how much money you missed going on vacation?

Eleuthera, Bahamas.

Turns out the house we rented was a couple of properties down from Lenny Kravitz.

This was our beach. Less than 100yards from the back porch.

Hey OP: How's that Pete holding up?  Any mechanical issues, other than routine maintenance?

A few weeks ago the dash lit up like a Christmas tree. Had it towed to a shop in Rockford IL. Was told it was just a software update. Not a warranty issue so it cost me $2200 for a $200 update.

Turns out the fuckers didn’t fix the problem. 2 weeks later I start getting all kinds of warnings for the def level. Limped into a shop in bumfuck MO. Turns out the sensor in the DEF tank that checks the level was bad. $600 and two days later I was back on the road.

But honestly besides that just routine oil, lube, and filter changes.

I’ve already been through a full set of tires.

I think they have a sister shop in bumfuck, Arky. I didn't even get a kiss or a t-shirt.

I assume that you were late on a delivery?  Does that cost you money?

I don't want to know what a full set of tires cost you.

And by that I mean I really want to know what a full set of tires cost you.

Last time I talked to my brother, he was paying about $400 per tire.

I run Bridgestones and with the discount I get with Mercer I pay around $440 a tire.

Ooh that is a nice shirt she's got on. 

Buddy of mine is a broker. Called him the other day to check on a driver that had missed pick up. He said the guy was getting blown by a lot lizard at a truck stop.

this cunt fell asleep and killed somebody, and she still has a commercial license?  That's outrageous. 

After popping back in this thread I’m thinking drifter must have hauled some of my cargo at some point.

Want to know why I know you've never trucked cross country?

Fair enough. It’s why I love this thread.

I don’t understand this world. But I do understand that it’s part of mine.

It’s confirmed fake. The account is faking being a truck stop to sell t-shirts online. Like the one she is wearing in that pic.

All kinds of shit.  I am the GM for a freight forwarder here in Houston.  Got stuff moving all over.  
 

if you’ve ever hauled a subsea XT from Galveston to Berwick then for sure you’ve carried our cargo.

DEF systems are a pain in the ass, and trouble shooting them always seems to cost extra time.

We've had that issue on our fleet more than a handful of times.  It sucks.  Glad it was( only) 2 days for you.

That stinks. You wonder to what Degree this was preventable? Hopefully they'll have the Right Guard in place next time.
