[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1361666, member: 52978"] For you new feeder guys. Odds are very good that you will share a tractor with someone. Some guys are pickier than others. Almost all feeder drivers carry a bag with several open end wrenches for the mirrors, a minimum 10" crescent for air hoses. rolls of electrical tape, duct tape, screwdrivers, wirecutters etc. There will be times when you will be in BFE and nobody to help you. You would be expected to put forth some effort to fix something minor if you can. It aggravated me no end if the guy I shared with wrote up a loose mirror, etc. What you're saying is "I don't have time to fix it anytime during my shift, but old cap'n there has time on his pretrip to fix it and be late hitting the gate. The driver that I shared with communicated with me using post it notes in the DVIR. I'm no mechanic, and I don't take work that they should do usually, but a simple turn of a wrench can save a big delay or maybe a road call. [/QUOTE]
