I’ll start (of course I have one, otherwise I wouldn’t be starting this thread :lol2).

Fucking LTL truck drivers are getting shittier by the second. Half the time they don’t even have a pallet jack anymore. Are jacks hard to come by now a days? Probably because of the chip shortage.

Today’s guy has no pallet jack so I offer to lift ours up for him. “You want me to get up there? I just turn left and turn right, I don’t move stuff.” WTF? I’ve never had a driver not move pallets in his own truck.

I know, cool story bro and 🎻. :lol2:D


What ticked you off today? I got my little violin waiting! :D
 
When I started in the trucking industry almost 20 years ago, the day cabbers were revered. Nowadays the LTL companies will hire any idiot with a pulse, class A CDL, proper endorsements, willingness to suck company dick, and drink their kool-aid. They drive like shit, can't figure out where their fucking lane is, drive with the high beams on, won't get the fuck out of the left lane for whatever reason, move over waaaaaaaaay too fucking soon to make a 20 mile long pass, and don't pay enough attention. It's even more comical when you have 2 Saia drivers driving at matched speeds because the moron who decided to pass their coworker can't make a pass and doesn't want to back off. Most of these dipshits on the road drive like Nigerians pulling Amazon trailers. With longhaul trucking, the SuperEgo, Amazon tuggers, and any given foreign owned firm's drivers are the ones you have to keep an eye on. The Mohammad variety drivers will all be of the same name and have one CDL for all of them when packed into a sleeper berth.

The night was relatively uneventful. Got some snow overnight and all the inexperienced drivers were mobbing along at 20mph on BARE & WET pavement. I hate road salt. It gunks up the windows and mirrors.

People who encase their HVAC equipment in cutesy little closets and then get mad that I charge extra to work on it.

The hole is smaller than the unit that has to come out. You know what I have to do, and I'm not a carpenter/drywall guy/painter. Don't act shocked. Go put your microwave under your couch and see how long it takes for that shit to get old.

That’s the spirit! Let it all out. :lol2

Yeah that would piss me off too. I hope you were up on your Confined Spaces training before working in there. :D

First job I had when I moved to PA was pumping out septic tanks. People really seem to think waiting 10 years to get theirs pumped is going to save them money. It won't! If it takes an hour or longer to do a simple pump job, your ass is getting a bill for 2 or more pump jobs. It won't save you money if the wastewater guy/gal has to take a fucking pick axe or shovel to break up the shit that has turned almost into concrete. If you get yours pumped every 3'ish years, the job should only take half an hour at the most. The wealthy shitheads trust fund babies are the biggest cheapskates and complain when the cheapest option doesn't do the greatest job. They go on to hire a premium outfit and complain about the pricing and try to get out of paying. They always lose.

They didn't know sodium hydroxide is needed on non leach block tanks. Whoops loss of technology! Neighborhood was full of these systems. I had aeration with my own problems.

I slept in this morning until almost 9:00.... then I had a leisurely breakfast in front of the computer while I finished my Christmas shopping.... then I watched a bit of YouTube. At noon I took the dog for his 3 mile walk. Got back and had lunch. Watched some more YouTube (it's winter... not much else to do).

Got ambitious and put the new license plate on the 4Runner, and then made a quick run to the bank.

Next thing you know, it's 5:00 and my day is over..... retirement does NOT suck! :lol3

On the rant side...I am struggling with a slight cold. :bluduh

I’d give you a half a violin if I could since you managed to work a little complaint in there at the end. :D

Half a violin for you! :lol3
 
It was cold riding to work. And my right glove liner got really jumbled up. I might cut the liners out!

The local edicts in CO are something else. It's really no wonder Merv Heemeyer became the man and machine forever known as KILLDOZER. Californians have also ruined what once was a great state to live in. CO's downfall started once marijuana became legal. It opened the floodgates for people all over the place to come in and turn the state into a goblin den.
