IDI rescues a Pete 379

[pafixitman]

Figured I would post here instead of the lounge so Scott can catch more flack about this.

Apextrans needed an IDI to rescue him! Not the Pete's fault, but rather the portable parking lot had a hydraulic line rupture in bum freak NC. After chasing down a mobile repair, they showed up in an IDI van!
I promised him I would get these posted ASAP!

I think the title is a bit dramatic. But it's as Joe said otherwise. Blew a line, couldn't get the taurus off till it was fixed. Hope you're feeling alright after being crammed up like that. Enjoyed the company.

Side note: Joe would make a fine car hauler (with some extensive training of course), he walked up the trailer to pull a car off like he'd done it 1000 times before. I was shocked. I've seen potential employees that had done this before show more fear than Joe walking up the trailer!!!!

Ok, so I don't program the date on my camera...

Thanks. Truth be told, I had a blast.

Hey Joe ....Nort Kacalaki ain't that bad ;p

Where were youse at?

Outside Charlotte in Monroe. Apex had a load of "buy here, pay here" going down. Plan was to go to Rockingham so he would have a full back haul, but we lost 3 hrs with the trailer repair.

I lost my job a month sooner than planned so I took the chance to play. Very eye opening for me. The most I had ever done w/ a "big rig" was bobtail in a cab over between warehouses in Hunt Valley,MD.

Cost of admission thru that door is a monthly payment. You pay, you can sit in the "fun" seat. Small children excluded of course.

Yeah, I was going to say that you were dumb enough to have me along, but not dumb enough to let me in that seat!

Just like this pic that I never took?

Well, I was a ****** when it came to truck washes. Never occured to me that they had 'em nor did I pay attention to the signs. But, to answer the question, no. That said, after running back from Myrtle Beach this summer with all of my issues, I'll be taking the 5'r up to Carlisle and run through the beacon up there. Beats the heck out of me spending a Saturday with a pressure washer.

Funny that the guy on the right in the pic is the same one that busted my chops for taking a pic. They have secret shoppers just waiting to steal their technology...according to him at least.

Technology.....at a truck wash

• A big pressure washer
• 2 teenagers to spray the acid and wet it down
• 2 to brush it
• 2 to rinse it

Oh I know it's the barrel of their secret sauce truck wash acid recipe

If I had a big RV that's what I would do....Beacon does alot of RVs as well as prolly most of the NASCAR haulers.

So Joe, does this mean your going to go get your CDL instead of the Contractors license?
