4 QUESTIONS

I want this blog to not only be a look into the everyday life of a truckdriver but also a chance for you to learn something new hopefully.  I have for you today 4 questions that I think everyone would have a positive answer to.  There are links on my page for those that want to go further and look at this.


1.  Would you like your car, truck, equipment to run more trouble-free and last longer?  Did I hear you say yes?  I think I did!  Today with ever increasing repair costs and the tough times we are all facing.  People are making the decision not to buy that new car and just keep the old one running.  Some people are making the decision to buy and saying this will be the one that lasts me a long time.


2.  Would you like to have better fuel economy?  With gas headed for $4 again of course you would!  If you could put a lubricant in your vehicle or equipment that would save you money on fuel would you do it?  Yes!


Let me give you some answers to these first two questions.  There is a product that has been on the market for 39 years that will give you these advantages.  AMSOIL is a pure synthetic motor oil that will help your vehicle or equipment last longer and be more fuel efficient.  




With AMSOIL products, vehicles and equipment. . .
• last longer
• need fewer repairs
• perform better – more responsive, more power
• get better fuel economy (more miles to the gallon)
• emit cleaner exhaust


Finally, AMSOIL synthetic lubricants last longer than other
lubricants, which reduces lubricant costs and the amount
of used oil sent through the disposal system.


As you use AMSOIL products, you will soon notice that your
vehicles and equipment perform more powerfully and use
fuel more efficiently than before. Over time, you will
appreciate that your vehicles and equipment spend less
time in the repair shop, costing less for maintenance. The
product features that keep the car out of the repair shop
also help it last longer.


You will notice, too, that your vehicle or equipment runs
cleaner, which reduces the air pollution associated with
vehicles and equipment. When you use AMSOIL synthetic
motor oils for the recommended 25,000-mile or one-year
drain intervals, you will produce less used oil destined for
disposal than you did with your previous, shorter-drain oil.
Used oil, even when recycled, affects the environment.

Tune in tomorrow for 2 more important questions!!!!

Sitting and Waiting

I do not sit well.  This is one of those weeks that over the road drivers are just resigned to accept.  This major storm has impacted most of the country by the time I write this.  I have been sitting since yesterday.  I picked up a new tank trailer in Laredo, TX going to Plattsmouth, NE.  The snowstorm that impacted north TX, all of OK, and parts of KS and NE,  has delayed my trip by several days.  The state of OK has very little clearing equipment and chemicals.  This causes really long delays in clearing roads and rendering them safe.  


Are you a driver of a vehicle that just refuses to watch the weather or feel you are so important and well skilled that you can drive in 3 inch per hour snow and 40 mph winds?  It really is amazing that people are so foolish and then the National Guard has to come out and rescue you off the interstate that is now closed.  There are a large number of vehicles, cars, trucks, and big trucks that are stuck on the turnpikes in OK today.  I will allow the auto drivers to be stupid.  However, I give no sympathy to the truck driver that allows himself to be caught in a storm like this.  There are multiple options available for drivers to get weather and road info.  Please do not tell me your dispatcher said you have to do it or you will be fired.  If a dispatcher tells you that, then go to the nearest bus station, clean out your truck, go home and find a job with a safe company.  No one should work for a company that operates unsafely.  There is absolutely NOTHING in or on a trailer that is worth your life.  If there is an emergency and it really needs to get there, then airplanes and helicopters work very well.  I firmly believe that if you voluntarily went into the weather and had to be rescued, then you should be required to pay for your rescue.


Well, at least I have my laptop, books, Sirius radio, and can go inside and watch TV.  While I have these diversions, sitting is still no fun.  I am much better off when I can get out, take a walk, go find something to do,  When it is this cold, we are having sub zero windchills at night, it is really tough even to get out and walk to the building to go to the restroom.  I would be happy if the sun would come out for a while.  Well, I guess it is back to reading and playing games.  Enjoy your day and be safe wherever you are.
