How's the view???........

I no longer have any pickup stops, this is a RS package somebody handed me! I used to have three, but one of them recently moved. The other two were being delivered to by another driver the same time I was picking up, so I got them moved to him. (I love my new supervisor, she gives me hugs in the morning!) I used to have to break off and drive five miles at 3:30 to make them, I was wasting 30-40 minutes of daylight.

I always liked to run trash routes, with no pickups,
when I was a swing driver (10 years).

Just get out there and deliver; no need to break off and start pickups.

So now instead of "wasting 30-40min" driving you now get 40 mins worth of more work. Who da dummy now?

I'm not getting extra work so far, I have been getting through with a little daylight left. I have only had to drag out the flashlight once since the time change.

Cooler than the dog pics. This has been going around on the web, supposedly this happened in Oregon.

This was the beginning of my day. Fuel line came loose going to my first stop today. I lost seventy minutes right off the bat, I was thankful my mechanic got me rolling in about ten minutes. I didn't have to load everything into a different package car.

It always something!

It seems like all my breakdowns happened on a Friday.

Did your mechanic sign a release?

You can't see his face. That could be any fat mechanic.

My lucky day

He did a great job, it turned out the fuel line was just loose at the top of the MB904 engine. Once he got to me, I was rolling ten minutes later. I have 315K miles on it, he told me he would get me a new engine after peak. I got another Allison 5-speed automatic trans a few months ago, my fourth one...

Four transmissions with only 315K miles? Sounds like you may be a little rough while shifting.

How rough can you shift an automatic transmission?

How rough can you shift an automatic transmission?

Some of the transmissions are crap and some routes put more strain on the transmissions. 100k miles per transmission sounds very possible to me.

My wife's tranny went out
After 33k miles
They replaced with a new one

Plus thethey use cheap parts. Guess they are saving money replacing the same thing over and over.
