Default Why me?

Ok - why is it that out of the 100 or so trucks in this damn truckstop, the only idiot that has his truck running is parked right beside me? Not only that, but the ass has it running on high idle. At least he doesn't have a reefer too.

BTW - it's 68 degrees out and the sun is down. Plus there's a REALLY nice breeze. Well, there would be if I could open the windows on BOTH sides of the damn truck.

Well, it could be worse. It could be a long nose Pete with a set of straights, idling at about 1,000. Ooooh baby! Sing to me!!

probably not the case but I did idle the truck due to bad batteries. they had to jump me 4 times during the week but instead of replace the battiereis right away, they routed me all the way from portland, or to indy to replace the batteries. Every time I shut my truck off was a garunteed jump start.

Wow - I had my batteries go out on me right around Labor Day. The day before Labor Day, the truck wouldn't start. Luckily I was at a truckstop with a garage to jump me. The next morning (Labor Day) the same thing happened (again at a truckstop with a garage). When I called breakdown I told them that I wanted the batteries tested. 3 were completely dead and one had about 50% charge. The garage worked up the estimate and called Celadon, who told them to replace all 4. Total cost on the bill: just over $750.

wish they would have done that for me, it would have been less expensive. seriously, if they didn't want to pay the labor they could have bought the batteries and I would have put them in to save the agravation and time lost.
