Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted June 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2022 Does anyone work for free for you Joey ? I doubt it so dont do it for them, a friend of mine did a lot of work for a large trucking company He got crook one day and ended up in hospital (heart attack), anyway this company jumped up and down and made a hell of a song and dance and said he would fold if it wasn't for them (I have condensed this story quite a bit) He told them in the way only a Australian would to "bugger off" Funny thing was his business did change from bending over backwards to please a few large customers to a never ending queue of small Mum and Dad types that were always appreciative of his work As one door shuts another opens When someone pays you they are buying a piece of your life, dont go selling your life to cheap as you only get one shot at it Paul 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69847-def-shortage/page/4/#findComment-499446 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 I agree with you Paul.. part of why I parked my truck is because I'm worth a bit more. I have a few that understand and pay me a bit more, but I am not 'kickin butt' like I was... Its hard for me to post on this because I dont want to come off as arrogant. I just have some strong opinions..

1965 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 $100.hr in the Memphis area for good mechanic shop for awhile now, probably couple yrs. If you can get them to do a service call they get mileage. Most of them have a minimum charge also. I’m thinking our fuel prices are also less than y’all east coasters. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69847-def-shortage/page/4/#findComment-499467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I really honestly don't know if I buy into this DEF shortage shit. I mean, I know the Gubmint is doing some stupid things lately but do I honestly think they are going to cause, or would allow a private entity to cause a nationwide shortage of an absolutely critically needed material that without could very well cause nationwide shortages of E V E R Y T H I N G most importantly food and fuel? The ensuing panic would cause a party in DC that would make Jan 6 look like a back room bar fight. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69847-def-shortage/page/4/#findComment-500371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

67RModel Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Its like the baby formula "shortage". Hear me out. My wife and I had our first baby On February 22 of this year. I distinctly recall the nurses in the labor and delivery unit talking about a certain brand that had just been recalled and the plant shuttered by the FDA. That's the last I heard about it until it popped up in the "news" in mid May. From mid February to Mid May (3 months) there was zero problems getting formula. Any time we went to the baby section of a store the shelves were stocked. "News" ran the story and got the sheeple into classic panic buy mode and the shelves literally emptied overnight. Here it is about 4 weeks after the "news" story and you don't hear jack about it anymore and the shelves are about 3/4 full in my local stores. To boot the shuttered plant has reopened but not produced anything yet (and got flooded yesterday and had to close again). So I have to ask: was there ever really a shortage? Didn't affect me since we don't use formula but I can attest to being able to easily get it before the news scared everyone. Now that the supply chain has recovered from the panic buy you can walk into any store and get it again no problems.... 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69847-def-shortage/page/4/#findComment-500378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the supply chain has recovered from the panic buy you can walk into any store and get it again no problems.... Been like that for a while...from toilet paper to chlorine tablets to baby formula and now DEF...easy to find the day before the news declares a shortage, next-to-impossible to find the day after, and when you DO see it, the price has doubled. Ridiculous. Wish it worked that way with this "driver shortage" they talking about in the news. If there really WAS one, you'd expect to see an increase in driver pay, and instead companies are doubling down on stupid with more nanny-crap & the same pathetic wages. 3 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

And that right there is probably one of the most embarrassing aspects of this fool's presidency. WE shouldn't have to have emergency airlifts of ANYTHING! The fact that it's necessary proves this entire administration is unfit & unprepared. 4 2 Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!
