What you got rain over there? ? I only got like 10 dots on my windshield. Damn:mad:

Got dumped on big time. Lasted about 20 minutes and then quit. Look like small lakes on the road. Did that a couple times.....

I was changing out some windows, had to scramble to get them covered up so it wouldn't get inside.

I cant seem to sneak past the office with the saw and a/c unit without someone seeing me! :rofl: and upsdrver doent want to get involved. something about a warning letter or something like that. :baby:

I actually don't mind the heat we have been having around here. Has not been over 90 around here and it is way better than the cold weather and snow we get. I especially like this weather when you have to drive a brown truck with bald tires .

the tires wouldnt be bald if you would stay off the throttle. Just cause its a diesel doesnt mean its for time trials between stops! :driving2:

Hmm...we think alike. But I have a fab shop on my route that would help me..:rofl: Understood about the warning letter. They cant have the drivers too comfortable, and actually enjoy their job, eh?

tsk, tsk, tsk....and you havent written them up for a Safety repair on the DVIR yet? Let me guess...you also drive a new Freightliner 5cube, too? The 6.7 Cummins eats rear tires like nobody's business (about 17,000 miles to a set), but its still lightyears better than the Workhorse trucks that are in the shop 3 out of 5 days a week. :eek:

What? You arent in a hurry to get your air delivered in time? :rofl::rofl: BTW, I talked to our shop recently and found the new trucks all have "black boxes" and the shop can pull up info that shows top speed, max engine rpm....isnt that wonderful?

Black box ? 6.7 Cummins ? New truck ? Did you forget I work at the Meadville center . I drive a 1996 Powerstroker :banging: and yes i did write it up they said something about they are not under 4/32 so no new tires, and that was last winter. Last month they did finally get me new tires so i can have them wore out by winter. sorry for taking this :eek:fftopic:
