Some of those delays may feel like sittin it out till next spring. I got caught several times in 10+ years in the big town of Laramie Wy. cause the freeway was shut down. Your only hope is that the Wendy's doesn't run out of food. It's seems they never run out of ice cream though, da!

That is why I always have enough food in the truck to last a week sitting if needed.

The community college that I got my cdl from is now offering an 80 hour non baffled tanker class. They require a year driving experience before the class. Is there really that much to learn on a tanker? They said it is filled with 50 gallons of water for training.

Wow, Abe shows up everywhere.

I remember watching that video. If I'm remembering right the driver was complaining that after he completed his 10hr break his dispatcher told him to take another 10hr break because they didn't have a load. So after a 20hr break he is sent a load, but he was up for the past 10hrs and is now tired. So he catches himself falling asleep going down the road and pulls over.

Dispatch is ****ed that this driver just got off a 20hr break and is claiming he is to tired to drive. Told him to get out on the side of the road and run some laps or do some jumping jacks to wake up so he can drive on.

Failure by the driver to plan and be properly rested.

Failure by the dispatcher to try and force a driver to drive in an unsafe manner.

Bad situation all around.

There was a Video of a fellow, who was told to Drive when he was MicroSleeping. I am not saying how he set the stage for running was right, that's on Him... but his carrier would not have fixed a serious problem with their Night dispatch or their safety department if he had not taken the steps to make it Public. As a Solo Driver we have little power. But These folks are giving us a Zetgeist, a United Public Persona & voice.

Big Ups to my YouTubers. Who's Driving Hard? #Cheers

That would work good if you could go past the fence. you have to do it without passing the fence. I tried that once, no room to swing through the gate.

The address is 925 Decatur ave n. Golden valley , mn. It is called Ferguson. It is the only dock you can get to in the back of the building. Tell me how I got in there.

I was in my parking spot just watching the truck stop funnies. This guy in the fuel island could have backed straight into a parking spot after fueling. I watched him work at it to turn around and pull straight into the spot.

My question is, what are some funnies you have seen?

I have seen that stuff a few times. never nice.

I got it to work. my fire pit in the backyard.

Crash

This is why I welcome the driver facing camera. It saved me that time. The safety director said that I did everything the way it should be done in that situation.

I now work for Bay and Bay. I am doing a dedicated UPS account, hauling Ferguson supplies. It is based out of Waterloo IA. I never go east of Ohio. It is mostly Mn, Wi, IA, and ND. Sometimes I go to Nebraska. It is only Ferguson stores I go to. If anyone doesn’t know, Ferguson is a plumbing and heating supply store. Some of the stores are really fun to back into. I will find that bad one and send in a backing practice. The best part is that I am home every weekend. Most of the time, I have a full weekend. And I still get 2500-3000 miles a week.
