PMI

[cachsux]

My mech is prob the one person I won't piss off at work. Ironically my rig goes in for PMI today, I'll have it back tomorrow plus the stuff on my list will be taken care of. Take care of your mech, they'll take care of you.

This may come as a surprise to most of you but both of our mechanics do not care very much for me.

​Do they misspell too many words in the DVIR?

I agree. Hopefully everyone takes care of him in December. Was schocked when my mechanic told me 75% of drivers don't. And it wasn't because he's a jerk.

Seriously? You give your UPS mechanic a tip at Christmas??? Never heard of that.

I used to give my p/t preloader kid a tip, but I'd never give a fellow friend/ter a gift.

News is I'm getting a hydrolic hybrid. Training is 1.5 hrs long and they just trained the mechanics on them this past Monday. Heard we'll have ridealongs from the trucks representative also.

​My mechanic never tips me for not destroying his vehicle.

Drive it like you stole it. It is a test.

I don't tip but I buy lunch or coffee occasionally. My mech and another are both veterans so every Veterans Day week I pick up the tab for coffee that week.

​Like I tell my wife. Always be nice to the person who "fixes" your brakes.

​Maybe they're women mechanics who he harasses on a daily basis. Kinda like some of the women here, at least one of which he has run off the site.

Is that what happened to her?
I was wondering where shes been.

Our mechanics always bring in fresh deer jerky and sausage...one of them brought in moose sausage. Either way, we feed each other all the time. When I'm fulltime package car, I'll make sure to take care of those fellers. Good group of guys. Oh, and we kinda like SPL 100 over here. Yeah it's runny, but man when you've got the locks on the back of the trucks that are stuck or frozen, that stuff is golden. It flushes out dirt real good from the locking mechanisms. Haven't had a lock yet that's beaten SPL 100. And it smells infinitely better than axle grease...that's always a plus.
