Update And Other Fun Stuff

Things have been going great About two weeks ago all three trucks broke down about the same time. They rented a 2024 Freightliner for the trailer. It's an automatic. We got our manual tractor back the other day, yet my supervisor doesn't want to swap them out yet. Oh well. The straight fuel truck and service truck are still in the shop. The fuel truck might be back Tuesday. No update on the service truck.

We have a very tight yard that we fuel trains at. Thankfully I can turn more than 90 degrees.

I have been using the Hammer app for navigation. I like it and would suggest it for anyone who needs a truck GPS and can"t afford a Garmin yet.

With only one truck, we have only been able to fuel and only one person does anything. I have been on the fuel truck for the past two days, so my next two will be sitting in the office and or my car.

One of the guys had a fuel spill last week. He had to take a drug test. However, it was a freak accident. One of the other guys twisted his ankle.

I also learned how to add oil and water to the trains.

That's about it.

Stay safe out there.

That's what I do. When I have a rental, it's my primary mode of transportation for the time I have it. I'm assuming it's the same for the company. They paid for it, might as well get their money's worth.

That's my back up. I mostly use Google maps, but I know where I'm going most of the time so it's mostly just for traffic updates.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYBODY USE GOOGLE MAPS AS A PRIMARY SOURCE OF GPS FOR A TRUCK.

Things have been going great

I'm glad you're enjoying the new gig and I also enjoy the updates. Keep having fun and stay safe out there.

Do you get to go up where the engineer sits in the locomotive? Maybe you can post a photo of yourself in the driver’s seat. That would be cool.

When we are cleaning, we are in the cab where they sit.
