I know nothing...
Last Thursday I get into snow storm, minivan cuts me off I slam my brakes next thing I know my semi-truck is totaled. I didn’t hurt at all, but I have to deal with all that **** now. All cargo is on the ground, broker having heart attack, my boss going like this…:frustrate I'm like:blink:
On Saturday my boss sends me to Nashville with his pick up truck. On the way there alternator goes to ****. I’m in the middle of nowhere it’s 20 F below and I’m facing spending next 10 hours in the cold truck till parts store will open. (it’s 11pm on Saturday night) Thinking this is it, this is how I’m gonna die. I pray to God to help me out. Calling every parts store, every towing company. I got a hold of a guy who has alt. I need. I tell him I’ll give you any money to bring it to me. I was ready to hug him when he showed up. I gave him $50 for just delivery, but he took only $10 (God bless that guy for saving my ass). By 2am I’m back on the road, but I have to be in Nashville by 9am, so no sleep for me that night. What a fun drive!
On the way back I get pulled over on the weigh station and cop tells me I’m going to spend night in jail, because it has to be commercial vehicle to pull that dredge or whatever it was. Fucking great! But we were able to get paperwork done and turn this truck into commercial vehicle. I still get $188 ticket and get suspended for 10 hours since I didn’t have log book. Man, give me a break! I’m pissed. But I talk my way out of it again. They let me unhook trailer and take truck to motel.
Next day I’m finally on the way home. In too fucking hurry I grab wrong handle at gas station and pump gasoline into diesel truck. Ahhh! At that point I don’t know what to do, to cry or laugh or go shoot myself. LOL Lucky for me they had shop right behind gas station, so we pumped tank empty and filled up with diesel this time.
I get to Illinois toll booth and realize I don’t have one single dollar on me. Going through truck trying to find some change, people behind me pissed...
The most fun part is I wasn’t going to get paid for this trip, it was a favor… Oh, well, **** happens.
