Yes, but I was victorious and defeated the evil Lex Luthor and his sidekick Mini Me.

 

I know an owner operator who had a wire loose like Steve. He wound up shorting out his ECM. I think it wasn't good and tight after putting in new batteries. He had to replace or rebuild the ECM. It cost him about $1,500 to rebuild it. It is a good thing you found it before it did any permanent damage.

 

Well, I'm sitting here at my destination right on the beach. It's the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. It's surrounded with SWAT guys with M16's. I parked my truck on the street and decided to walk up to the guard shack instead of pulling in just in case I was early which I am. They pointed the guns at me as I walked up. Get your hands out of your pocket there buddy.

I looked the place up on he Web and it's one of the number 1 targets of a terrorist attack because of all the old spent fuel rods which they say would dwarf the Chernobyl incident if they were to burn!!

4 wheel drivers in CA suck too. Everyone drives with there high beams on and they are all freaking mental. The speed limits mean nothing. They pass in no pass zones and when the speed limit is 55, they're doing at least 75 to 85.

I think this is the last time I'll come anywhere near the CA coast.

 

Yea California probably has some of the worlds worst drivers. I mean they tailgate one another probably going like Steve said 75-85 mph. Also, the motorcyclists around in California are crazy. Weaving through cars going up beside cars in between lanes. I don't know if it's legal but man it's an accident waiting to happen.

 

Cali drivers pale in comparison to South Florida drivers.....the worst I've ever seen in terms of aggressiveness and downright dangerous stupidity.

Boston / NYC are the runners up...

 

I sort of agree with this,if you see a driver with Ontario plates in Florida,get out of the way!!!

 

Well, all unloaded and in a truck stop in Bakersville. I think this is where Floored is from or should be. I see nothing but those transfer trucks. I'm in Ralph's truck stop or something like that. They have Idle Air here and it's about 300 degress outside!!

I have a feeling I'm going to get knocks on my door tonight. I see lots of lets say, questionable ladies walking down the street.

I got a call to haul a load to the Bronx. I said NO WAY. I spoke too soon maybe. Is the Bronx OK to get into and out of and is it safe?

I'm also wondering how come my truck uses oil some times and not others. I just had a PM done the other day and it's been over 3 weeks and hasn't used a drop of oil. I just checked it and still full even though I just pulled 48,300 over many killer mountains. Some weeks I'll use 2 quarts???

 

Steve...did you mean Bakersfield? Floored is from up my way in the Sacramento area.

And it's only in the mid 90's...and no humidity to boot!! Sheesh...east coasters.

 

I only have gone to 1 customer in the Bronx,but I found it to pretty easy to get in and out and as long as you go during daylight hours it is fine, went back several times with no problems.

 

Where in the Bronx, Steve? It's not that bad. Tell me where it is and I'll tell ya if it's easy.
