This Is What You Get When You Go To A Union Shop

I don't know if you can see very well but we're sitting at a customers, who I'm sure is union. It took 15 minutes to load this load and, if you can see, it'll take forever to unload. Everyone seems like they are a bigshot and want you to pay attention to THEM.

When there are too many chiefs and not enough indians, you know you have problems.

So far, we've been here 45 minutes and th e farthest we've gotten is moving several times and then sitting.

I give it at least another 45 minutes or so before the unload is complete.

Update, just noticed this...we have pink rope attached to our trailer and then ran out to pylons. We are roped off. Probably for everyone's "safety", y'now.

Geez...and people wonder why the US isn't leading anymore.

A Fellow Needs Help Getting From OKC To Amarillo.

He is sitting in the TA restaurant, exit 142, in OKC. His brother died in Amarilla and this guy is trying to get there from Ft. Smith. His truck tranny went out. His boss won't advance him any money, matter of fact, hung up on him.

So, if you can help, please do. It'll come back to you in some shape or form.

Took Video Of Pickup That Was Deliberately Blocking Us

Hubby was driving and had passed this one pickup only to have the pickup speed up and block him from coming back over.

Then the pickup let us over then sped up to pass. It hung right about midway of our trailer with traffic backing up behind it.

Hubby came up behind another rig and had to slow. The pickup finally did pass. The scary thing was while it was in the hammer lane, it was weaving and going over the yellow line!! Clearly, the driver didn't need to be out on the interstate in this condition!!

Finally it got past and slowed down!! Hubby went to pass this time and I took video of the games this guy/gal were playing. I made sure the driver saw me videoing too. After that, they slowed down immediately and let hubby move over. They didn't try to block him either.

Didn't that fool realize HOW feckin' dangerous playing those games wit a big rig is?? Obviously not!!

Well, if I can get the video to upload properly, I'll post it here.

Wow. Fools on the road...who needs 'em??

Juat Got PULLED into A Weigh Station

Swear to God, the female DOT officer looks like one of those women who's probably never been on a date. Hair is pulled back into a bun, wirerim glasses, no makeup, sour look and dressed like an old schoolmarm.

Hubby has to deal with her, thank goodness, but, honestly, this woman looks like she's out to punish the world for her shortcomings.

Wow. Hope hubby can charm her...

It Has Been A Trying Day...

After the Labor Day weekend, we thought it would be all sunny and roses today.

Wrong. We are partially loaded and am sitting at a truckstop. A brake cam bracket broke (because of all the feckin' rough roads in this third world state of Cali) and rubbed a hole in the air line.

So, we whipped into TA and the shop said to park, drop our trailer, they would call us. We sat her for a coupld of hours, they called. I bob-tailed up to the shop, only to find frickin' out...they don't DO this kind of repair. *sigh*

So, called KW and we have to be there at 7am, with bells on. We hooked up the trailer and here we sit.

I knew it wouldn't go very smoothly. This is California after all. &*%^$%^ roads...
