CNG tractor

[BrokenWrench]

The green “hose” is the light cord. Any UPS mechanic knows that as they are the same on any of our tractors.

CNG have nothing extra on the back, she has to be confused about the electrical cord.

Before you can drive one you have to be certified, takes maybe 15 minutes and covers slow/quick fueling, shut off valves and the filters in the engine compartment that need drained daily.

Our untrained hands aren't supposed to mess with anything. If the tank has any kind of dent/damage it's supposed to be taken out if service to be inspected.

She was right about the fairing part. They are called wings. They deploy above 50 mph. The new Freightliners have them I know. Haven’t seen them on a KW yet.

If you’re a Feeder driver with that immature mentality, you’re in the wrong line of work.

Unless you can back a set of doubles into a parking spot.

Actually, I can. Not that easy, but I’ve done it on more than one occasion.

Thanks everyone. That’s the first time I’m seeing this so thank you.

It was a legitimate question. I question how old some of you are honestly. I’m pretty sure you’ve been out of high school for quite some time.

Why didnt you (she) just ask a (your) mechanic instead of asking on here?
It may not take a GED to find the answers if you ask the employees that have to maintain the hoses and are responsible for the attributes associated with every vehicle the company puts into service.

You didn’t see the line where I wrote we have no CNGs here. Our shop wouldn’t know.

Women asking men questions about the “mechanicals”

Yup, somethings will never change.

We don't have any CNG certified mechanics.

You never see any mechanics at any of the other buildings you go to?

Nope. My run takes me to two small centers. Thanks for bringing that to my attention though, I never thought of that. Thank you for enlightening me.

Small centers have mechanics. Many work 17:00-15:00. On here you get a lot of fluff.

Thanks for the pics and info everyone.

Those CNGs do suffer from a little ugly duckling complex don’t they?

My 275 series LNG Mack is pushing 900k. Who knows what I’ll get when it’s time to make it a “local” tractor.

You know how some guys are so smart that they skip high school and go straight to college?

We got guys here smarter than that, they skipped high school and college.

They work 22 hours?

 

[Frankie's Friend]

Oops. Make that 3 am. Thank you.

Pretty sure I knew what you meant.

Couldn't resist though.

The green cord could be a trailer electrical cable.

 

[Rick Ross]

Parked next to one at a meet point earlier today and have no idea what she is talking about. Only green cord in back is the electrical cord for the trailer.
