    Good work on the airline, it’s great that you’ve got the tools and parts and know how to do those type of repairs.

    When I started driving in 1987, a good friend of the family told me that if I go trucking I will never get out. He was right. Prayers for Greg and his family. I’m going to try and find a creeper that has larger tires, so I don’t have to crawl in the piss. Before automatic slacks adjusters, we had to adjust our brakes before going down steep grades. I remember the first time I got under the trailer and smelled fresh piss.

    Awesome quick fix. You're right, repair shop bills put many o/o's (especially lease drivers) right out of business.

    Getting a drivers license was once seen as a privilege. Now ppl think it’s a right. Common sense has left the building long ago

    Hey Bandit! Another great video! 😊. I’m so glad you were able to fix your trailer. All of those tools, extra parts and your capability to fix stuff saves a lot of time and money. That’s awesome that you can fix your own truck and trailer. I’m glad that storm wasn’t to bad because we don’t want any hail damage to mess up the Beast. Have a great night and stay safe Bandit

    I agree with you about the tipping. The service also should be good. You shouldn't ha ve to go looking for the waitress to get a refill on your soft drink or water .
  • Seeing those railroad bridges in Chicago reminded me of the ONE time I bridged a trailer. I stopped at a Union76 truckstop on Manheim Rd. to get fuel and I asked the guy if it was ok to take Manheim instead of getting back up on the Kennedy Expressway, and he said yes, but "don't stop anywhere because the blackies will get you" ! So off I went, in my old '65 B67 Mack with 22" rubber and there are railroad bridges every few feet it seemed with no height signs, and they looked low because the road dipped down under each one. Oh I was empty by the way. So I stopped just before getting under the first one and got up on the deckplate and looked. There wasn't more than 2" clearance ! So I slowed down at each one, and there was a shitload of them. Until i heard a ruffling sound under one and saw yellow fiberglass floating in the air behind me. FUCK !!!! Just caught the right front corner and kinda accordianed it back a foot or so. That aluminum alloy in that roof was stiff shit !! Couldn't flatten it back out, so I just jumped on it and pushed it down below the section around it, go a couple rolls of duct tape and went across diagonally 90° to each other and called it good. It never leaked !! So that's my Chicago story, hope you enjoyed it. I was out there from Massachusetts delivering a load of plastic flower pots, and I tripleased a load of empty computer cabinets right back into Mass.. That was in 1978. I've been over most of this country with a Rand Mcnally Road Atlas, a Rated Bridge & Low Underpass book, and a CB radio !! How trucking has changed !!!!!!!
