  1. The thing is, it wasn't directed at me and didn't seem to affect my situation one way or the other. The service manager was actually pretty nice, unlike the 2nd. shift guy Jeff talked to on the phone the night before. Jeff said he was a real a-hole. I was sitting in the customer waiting room just listening to the conversations going on. A female type person came back to the service desk and asked somebody where the paper was that she was supposed to have. A man said "I put it on your desk". She says "there it is, on top of the f**king file cabinet!", and stomped off. A few minutes later a man was saying how he was going to "f**K somebody up", I was assuming he was talking about another 2nd. shift worker just from the conversation. Then the female type person came back and said she "didn't give a f**k about this place, I just happen to work here!", along with more bitching and cussing. And all of this was loud enough for me to hear as well as anyone else who might have come in. And that's just the parts I remember, it was going on pretty much the whole time I was there. I've heard a lot of cussing in my time, done a bit myself, I've just never been in any place of business and heard such carrying on before.
  2. Or you could get one of these- the torch this guy is using is about 5 or 6 feet long, and is capable of cutting the rings off these mill rolls, so a counter weight shouldn't be a problem. They've had the fire department called more than a few times, especially when they do this at night. The folks around there think the whole place is on fire.
  3. I saw one of those once. Even took a photograph of it.
  4. I did see a nice looking Peterbilt while I was waiting.
  5. She didn't deliver the fuel line. As a matter of fact I was debating whether or not to contact Kenworth and tell them what a classless, totally non-proffessional place KW of Canton was or just forget about it. I have never been in a place of business before and heard such cussing and bickering as I did there.
  6. As Freightrain would say, i'm late to the party, I see you've got it figured out. But here's what I do- click "more reply options" if I want to post a picture- not necessary if you're starting a new post. Then at the bottom where it says "attach files" I click on "browse", then go to "pictures", "desktop", or "documents"-where ever you saved your picture- then right click on it, when the window opens click "select", then click "attach this file", then when the picture is finished downloading do the same for the rest, then click on "add reply", and there you have it. I'll post a random picture by doing this procedure now... Yep, it works.
  7. yes, she has nice equipment.
  8. At least they brought my delivery back today. I think it was a different delivery person though.
  9. That's the stupidest thing i've ever seen. Totally ridiculous- she should know better than to wear those shoes to the lemon grove. She did a pretty good job on everything else though except a loose fitting tank top would be better than the long sleeves.
  10. I was delayed a day, waitin' on the wrecker. There it comes now. All because of a broken fuel line. Had to be the one that goes behind the fuel filter and housing, had to take all that off to replace the line. Sure hated to miss whatever she's delivering.
  11. You're not doing too good there Larry- just in case you don't get out, can I have your pickup?
  12. It's hard enough to compete with TMC now when it comes to cutting rates and taking freights.
  13. Thanks for the info. This one's near Lisbon, Ohio.
  14. saw one on the back window of a Jeep not too long ago that said "if you can read this flip me over". It was written upside down.
  15. I've done that before too. When the bank closes during the middle of the day for 2 hours the drive thru is still open so I just walked over and stood in line between the cars.
  16. I never did , but I remember the first truck I drove with a jake brake. Started down the long hill on 460 between Christiansburg and Blacksburg one night, got up to max speed, put it in neutral, let the clutch out, and the engine cut off . That was when the jake didn't automatically cut off below a certain rpm, it would still work at idle. It was straight down the hill and up the other side.
  17. the dynamike is just another name for mic. gain, the rf gain will let you hear more when turned all the way to the right, even static. you just have to set that and the squelch knob where you like it.
  18. A friend of mine drove for Overnite and when they still used tachographs he told me they could stick something in them somewhere so the needle couldn't go past 55 mph, but it wouldn't let the needle "bounce" and the line was too smooth, so they came up with something else that let the needle move just a little bit so it wouldn't look like it had been tampered with. And yeah, that's a real fine find there!
  19. You could haul hay on it too- somebody was just looking for a B-model to haul hay.
  20. ...when I was deleting them from BMT, thought this one deserved a rerun since it's been long deleted off the computer. Plus, a new one too.
  21. I found a picture of the suspect.
  22. mine says "resize/skew" right under "flip/rotate".
  23. .
  24. Yeah, it looks like the one I looked at in Appomattox, but i'm not sure. The one in Appomattox is gone, and there can't be too many of them around.
