Left wing communists have been putting chemicals into hand soap in truck stops all across America to transgender their working truckers into catgirl twitch streamers. Why won't mainstream media report on this?

21 years of hack repairs on this wiring harness lol.
At least the technician was able to figure out the problem and get my lights working again

Running lights died about 45 minutes before I got to my customer. Luckily the factory here is okay with on-site repairs.
Kinda jealous of buddies service rig, thing sounds like it could pull down a house if you chained it up right.

Man, this industry is brutal. I have a close friend who is pushing middle age who's given over 20 years to the highway, and he just keeps getting kicked down. Listening to him tear up on the phone trying to describe burnout, and a deep sadness at seeing everyone's Christmas photos is tough.

Santa swapped out the 12 reindeer for 600 horses this year.
Happy holidays everyone, from that Canuck in a big truck.

Hearing a child scream from the next room because they decided to lick a Hot wheels car covered in Hot Ones Da Bomb hot sauce.

I wonder which hot sauce this comes with? Seems like an odd tie into me, but who am I to judge?

Pretty much everything at this customer is frozen, so I had to use my pump to push the old product that had frozen in their pipe with my fresh, hot, product into their facility.
My Gods how the 30 year old pump screamed and screamed.

Still waiting for insurance to get a move on to get my basement cleaned up, but the smell in my place has definitely improved. I can actually sleep here without getting a headache again.

Finally. Now all that's left is to get a clean up crew in there to remove some of the physical waste (not pictured, you guys don't need to see that) and sanitize everything. Lol.

Someone REAL angry at their landlord.
It seems like that's not the only issue. I'm not sure how it works, but there is a burst in a pipe somewhere past the neighbor units backing up into my basement.
I guess J-cloth/feminine products+ grease+cold= burst
This is going to be a long pain in my ass.

The plumbers have been here for over 3 hours, my house weeks of sewage, I guess I'm ordering a goddamn pizza for dinner tonight.
I don't know what the landlord did to piss the tenants off, but they flushed a shit ton of J-Cloth down the drain. They pulled out almost a full bucket worth.

Super disappointed to have to turn down a Chilliwack BC run. My dispatcher has a nasty habit of offering me KILLER loads whenever I need to go home.

One tool that I don't often need, but will never be caught without, is the humble tire inflator Chuck.
Slap that thing in your supply airline, punch the red button, and boom, you got 100PSI in a flash. Just be careful inflating car tires! Lol.
Need to get that slow leak on my pickup dealt with...

Coming up on 6 hours in this loud as bay🙃
Once again rescuing another load. Buddy's pump stopped working, so we are using our gravity pipes to feed from his trailer to my pump to the customers silo. Trouble is, his load has cooled, so it is VERY thick and slow.

Was busy as hell today.
Finally got internet at my house, finally put my snow tires on, did a few small renovations, & meal prepped about 3 weeks worth of food for the truck. My feet are killing me and I'm tired, but it's been a satisfying day. Off to Ben & Jerry's in Vermont tomorrow for a delivery
