Vanishing LED's

  DATELINE: GLENDALE, KY         DATE: 4/9/2009            PLACE: PETRO TRUCK STOP
 Stopped at the Petro to spend the night on our way up up Louisville, KY. Went to the truck wash and afterwards backed in next to this dropped step deck trailer. As we were wiping down our equipment of water, I looked at the step deck and thought "this guy is missing a couple of lights in the front corner."  
 While walking down the side I noticed that the side turn signal was also missing. "This is not going to be good."
                                                     And as I rounded the back.......
   BAM!!!  Every light on this trailer was GONE!!!!  I figure that all the lights were LEDs and some low life saw an easy way to make a upgrade to their own equipment by stealing the lights off of this dropped trailer.  I estimate the loss at about $300-350.00.  lights missing are: 8- 4" round,  9- 2" round, and 2- oval side turn signals.  I called the owner of the trailer (phone # was on the inspection sticker) and gave them the bad news and they could forewarn the driver before he came back to pick-up the trailer.  Lowlifes like this give all truckers a bad name.......

no dumping???

 I took these photos at the Mid-Tenn truck stop in Cookeville, TN.  The same place that charges 
the $ to park or pay $100 if they block your vehicle in.  
This goofball will fine someone for not paying to park on the lot, but can't keep the place clean. Who wants to pay to park in an unsecured lot with no security and the outskirts littered with trash?  The pictures tell the tale better then I can.....

Underwear

 We were at the Pilot T/S in Brooks, KY 3-14-09 waiting to p/u a load on Monday.  I went inside to buy some drinks and while inside decided to use the facility's. This was about 0600 on Sunday.
 I attempt to get a toilet seat cover from the dispenser and "WHOA!!!" no paper covers, but some used and nasty underwear.....What a low life!!! I don't care if some one wants to throw their undies away, but come on!!! There is a trash can not 3' from the stall door!!
 So I made my own paper cover with T.P. and double layered it and did what I needed to do and left. When I was back at the truck and told my wife about it she said I should get a picture and blog about it. I thought "no, it will be gone by the time I get the camera and go back".  So, I just relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the day.




 I went back into the Pilot T/S around 5-530 the same day to get a couple of sub's at Subway and took the camera just in case.  The undies were still there even almost 12 hours later.....Not only is the person that left the undies a pig, but the janitorial crew at this Pilot leaves a lot to be desired too.......
