Hello from roadside Clarington ON. Gotta get going. I got me six trailers on my trailer that need delivery this morning.
The drop's about half an hour from here, up in Lindsay ON.
And today, we'll listen to some Alice in Chains.
Let's go !!
Right Turn.
Unloading said trailers.
All done. Good to go. Let's head back east. So far, I got nothing for the return trip. Looks like I'll be hauling empty.
Quick stop, as usual, at the Port Hope OnRoute. Normally I stop here to check on the straps/chains/load. But, I'm hauling sailboat fuel this afternoon.
Brother.
Again.
Sludge Factory.
Don't Follow.
And that is it. Back to the shop and on my way home. Tomorrow I'll load a green blimp, a bit bigger than the one here on the red trailer. And I'll head for Campbellville ON, in the Milton area, at some Petro-Canada on the Guelph Line.
Now, home.
Boop !! That's our little devil of a Canadian Eskimo Dog. She's all cute, but also extremely high energy. She's adorable.
Cheers !!
Tomorrow... Some Nirvana.

I work for a trucking company. What's the one thing you like most and least about your current tractor?
kittyreaper
I'd take a guess for the thing he likes the least and I would say DEF heh

I don't know about you, but for me that Port Hope OnRoute is always a nightmare for parking.

It's certainly rough, but it's better than Odessa

What week the "Brother", "Again", and "Don't follow" about?
MisterBrahanovich
Obligatory ?Eastbound and doooooown! Loaded up and truckin’?

As a trucker is it worth while to take the 407 ever?
cryborg
It wasn't a joke, and @OP was not high. He really had six trailers on his trailer.
FeChefImgur
Someone stole all the wheels from them though, he must've parked in a dodgy part of town.
FintanRamm
Wheels are seldom mounted at delivery. They come separately.

Yo dog we heard you like trailers so we put trailers on your trailer!

It took me a minute too long to realise what sailboat fuel meant, and I figured it out in a minute. Brain sleep.
KaptainObveeus
I looked at the truck bed for fuel canisters and thought wtf no fuel there.

I bet it wrecked his gas mileage
DargonBall
I 100% read it and accepted it as an actual thing

I just whooshed right past it until I read this comment

My friend doesn’t quite get it. He thinks it might mean that he’s not carrying anything but wants to make sure.

Sailboat fuel is Wind.
dkulzer
Sailboat fuel is air so yes his trailer is empty
trybuttstuff
Isn't sailboat fuel called wind?
tgeliot
Yeah, the point was that there was nothing but air on his flatbed.

I once delivered to a cottage deep in the Muskokas. 10km of goat trail going forward, no way to turn around, 10 km of goat trail in reverse

Sailboat fuel, classic. Worked at a "chalet" or truck inbound outbound centre for a large company and you'll tell the truckers picking up
stuffthrower
That's what they were hauling that day. Not all of them understood and got concerned about the safety implications of hauling fuel.
SeasonedCitizen
Back in the day we'd say "hauling Volkswagen radiators" when empty. Back when VWs were air cooled.
chansuke
Old mechanic jokes were to have the new guy order a water pump for an air cooled VW and spark plugs for a diesel.
