      I've been dealing with this shit since I got my CDL. I haul production water in the oilfield now, and they made me go through a week of training with an old driver when I first started.
      On my 2nd day he said "We're going to XXXXX 1-14-H". I Asked "where's that one again?" and he looked at me like I was a fucking moron. We had been to five different wells the previous day all over a state I'd never been in before and he thought I had them all memorized lol.
      Same shit when I was drilling (water) wells. Dudes who were born and raised looking at me crazy when I said "just send me the coordinates" five minutes into them trying to give me directions. "You know that old house with the mailbox that leans to the left? You take the middle-left where it forks. Not the hard left, you'll get stuck and there's no service and they say there's a cannibal who kills lost truckers there."
      Fuck all that.

      If your loan is $3,000 a month that’s $100 a day. Just need to make enough to justify the payment. We have a new grapple truck that costs us $1,250 a month and can bring in $1,200 a day, no material cost no dump fees. So it just matters what the payment is vs what it brings in, whether it’s 10k or a million.

    I wouldn’t air the bags/bellows down when loading to make the truck shorter. Let those machines reach and even beat that board up if you have to. You don’t want to stress your bags trying to air up and pick the load up. They are also made to compensate for the weight difference around the body.

      That's exactly what I would do. Inflated bellows can explode when taking a big heavy load when it's dumped fast. He's doing the right thing. Heavy haulers: like, excavator, wheel loader, big dynamos that are loaded on a trailer with a crane: ALL drivers air down their bellows. If the bellows can't pump it up: you're overweight. Bellows should be able to take the load.

    If you want your cb radio to work better and last longer, fix the antenna light from flashing by adjusting the SWR of your cb antenna or antennas if your running duals. Every time it flashes, your SWR is over 3:1 which is no good. An SWR of 1:1 is ideal but not really achievable on a truck but if you can get it down to 1.5:1 or 2.0:1 you'll be better off.

      Those are called “pusher axles” and there main purpose is too be able to carry more overall weight in the truck. When not pulling a load, they get retracted like that to save fuel
