For anybody that uses #towercollector #mozilla won't be accepting uploads from it anymore. The option is still in the app but I assume they'll remove it in the next update.

I am an OTR truck driver, somewhat of a gamer, tech fan, proud husband to a beautiful wife and father to 2 fantastic kids. If you follow me expect a lot of posts about my travels, complaints about other drivers ( truck and car ) and just talk of the trucking industry as a whole.
Got to the receiver and while I was unhooking from the #trailer I noticed that sometime since I took off this morning the bolts holding my backup beeper had fell out and it was hanging by the #wires. So until I get back to the shop its now held on by #zipties. Ain't nothing says its gotta be #pretty it just has to be #atatched.
Our #flatbed stuff heading out west to #utah and #idaho has slowed down for now. So after running a #vantrailer for the past few days I'm back on flatbed with a load out of a new #customer going to #massachusetts. Been about 2 years I think since I went that far inti the northeast. So it'll be kind of nice to do something differant for a change.
Stopped to get #fuel on my way back to the terminal after delivering and during a quick walk around I found this. There is a chunck missing from the tire and you can just spot the wires sticking out. Best guess is either yesterday while picking up or this morning while #delivering I caught the edge of a rock or something with this trailer tire. Once I get back I'll have it replaced before I swap trailers. I ain't gonna let the next #driver deal with a possible blow out.
Well this is a #first. I've hauled all kinds of stuff on #flatbed. #hay, #onions, #bricks, etc. But I've never #hauled #stones before.
Been in the mood for a classic style #jrpg but didn't feel like replaying one. So I decided to give #chrontrigger a try. Any time you look up a list of the best #rpgs it always ranks high if not number 1 on the list. I've had it on my #steamwishlist for at least a couple years now so its time to see what all the praise its been getting since its realease on the #supernintendo is all about.
They may not be on top of the #load but I still make use of the v-boards whenever I haul hay. The #farmers like to overhang the front of the trailer when I pick up. I started doing this awhile back after I noticed about halfway through a trip the bales on front had sagged and were putting pressure on the air line connections. Those boards support the front bales and hold them up.
Bearing? What's a bearing?
I managed to limp it 7 miles to a #truckstop so I wasn't sitting on the shoulder. The whole way I got to listen to the differential eat itself and watch the bearing fall out in pieces on the road behind me. When I pulled in I could tell it was starting to slip bad and didn't want to keep going. That was confirmed when I went to #park and found that reverse no longer worked. So I find a space I could just pull into.
Well my #truck is the latest of the new ones to fall victim to the junk differentials that came in them. This morning it started making a howling sound, then it started sounded like a wood chipper. At that point I hit the shoulder and thats when I found this. Yeah I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be a cover over that bearing.
Hmm. I do have multiple #raspberrypi boards going running various #server functions. A couple of these could really clean things up and make organization and cable management a lot easier.
