It can always be worse< a while back I got a QC msg about checking ld # and such. It seems we had a driver in Chicago who picked up a load going to Portland, He got it there and found out it was the WRONG PORTLAND!! No idea how he did that. A week late and 5000 mi out of route, the ld got to Portland Maine not Oragon

I had an F-150 once and locked my keys in it. So I busted out the smallest window I could, the wing window, turned out to be the most expensive window in the truck.
 Glass guy said "man you should have busted out the rear window (which was solid) I could have have put in a tinted rear slider for 60.00" Son of a ..........  issedoff:

Mackman I hear that was a WEEK fro hell. But I would have traded YOU IN A SECOND. Saturday night my father had Emergancy Surgery to save both his life and leg. He lost 20% of his Muscle in his Right leg and only has 2 open wounds there one in 6 inches long the other is 8 inches long for the next 4 weeks. Monday my mothers van broke down. Lost both drive hubs and also the RR hub. 1500 bucks later fixed. Worst thing for me was I just found out that my house is being claimed by Eminant DOMAIN for a freaking new Ambulance station so I have to move everything AGAIN.

Sorry to hear that Mackman.
Last week I had to load in Chambursburg, PA to take to Fredericksburg, VA. then reload in Fredericksburg to come home. The load required a tarp if it was raining. It was raining :angryblue: Well the lock (the one on the bottom handle that you turn to open the box) had broken and was stuck in the locked position. It cost me an hour and a half, then after I got the box open and the load tarped, the girls in the office were out to lunch so I had to wait another half hour to get my bills. I didn't get home till 9pm that day.  Trucking........gotta love it! :lol:My recommendation to you...... At the end of the week..... drink heavily

Back in May I was turkey hunting in southern Ohio about a 2 hr drive from home. I park about a mile into the woods and hike all over. When I'm done I go back to my truck and I got no keys. Muther f*****! They fell out of my pocket. I have no cell phone service so I hike about 20 minutes to the top of a hill and get a couple bars. I call my wife and of course she'e thrilled to death about driving all afternoon to bail me out. So I sit on the hill for a couple hours to keep my service. I dont see a thing but I did doze off for a few minutes. My wife is getting close so she calls and I give the final directions into the woods. Shes on a state route and I tell her when she gets to the top of the hill thats her turn into the woods and follow the road down to the river where you'll see my truck (this parts important)...then she drops me. OH well shes knows where to go so I start hiking down thinking she'll be there when I get to the bottom. Nope. And of course I can't call her unless I hike back up and even then she lost her service anyway. So I wait...another 45 minutes and then she finds me. I asked her what happened and she said she found the turn but it didnt feel right because she was going down hill and I had said she would be going uphill so she turned around.
issedoff: I said when have you ever seen a river on top of a hill? I'm trying not to get mad cause the whole thing is my fault anyway!
