Pavlov's experiment with the dogs. Conditioning theory or something like that. I see the fuel pumps and my brain is now conditioned to see pain as I know a hit in the pocket is coming.
Gman, if you don't go to the TA, where do you get your PM's done? I know you live in TN so I would guess it's easier for you to get home. As I live in South Florida I don't plan on going home for a while, so I was just going to use the TA. Any other suggestions?
As for the mechanic, there is a shop I can go to but they are small and I didn't think they had the pump to flush the coolant. The guy I'm working with told me next time I head to a shop to just call him and he'll go over it with me.
Sup, I went to Pompano as I live up the road from there. I bought the truck in Miami and they were very nice to me down there but I can't get home so easy. I could take the Tri-Rail but that is a pain. From Pompano I can basically walk home or catch a quick bus.
Pepe what ever happened with that deal you had where you were going to pay a broker to keep you loaded? I think so far this is working out good for me of course the guy isn't a broker but has his own trucks. That stuff with a lumper is something else. I don't even fill out the contracts, they do all that for me, the only paperwork I do is send my invoice. Of course I wouldn't mind doing more. I think the dispatcher was like let him take care of everything which doesn't work for me. I rather do things myself. So like I just got detention time, usually he would call up, but I just did it myself.
Today I was thinking that this trucking must have been something else in the early days. It was so hot outside today I was under the APU vent. Probably when GMAN started they didn't even have AC in the truck (not saying you are that old GMAN :wink: ) and with no cell phone but having to look for pay phones and how did people get signed up with brokers if they didn't have a fax in the truck? I know fuel is a lot higher in proportion to everything, but it seems like it would be easier to make money now as it's easier to find loads via loadboards. Of course more competition looking on the same loadboards too.
Hey Steve, where did you get those cross fire fittings you were talking about for the tires? I can't seem to find them.
