Had a driver refuse to load what was supposed to be going on his truck one day, wanted to dictate his own terms. Sent him packing with no load. He was quite put out with wasting the gas.. but I had the number of his dispatcher and let him know it was 100% on the driver.

I’ve had a few guys refuse to load safely so I refused to load them. I might haul some sketchy stuff down country back roads but I’m not going to send a death trap down the interstate cross country.

Hi Silas love watching your channel, always been attracted to scrap yards. I don’t know if you’re familiar with Bad Chad customs. He has a Utube channel also where he builds some off the wall vehicles. Right now he’s working on a build that resembles a old Texaco tanker truck. Anyway it has duals on the rear and the two front tires are narrow. I have seen on in your yard a set of front wheel spacers ( Not adapters ) but spacers that make the front wheels as wide as the rears. The ones I seen in your yard were kinda cone shaped and off a pretty old truck. But I think just what he needs to make his build work. He doesn’t know he needs them but I think he would be happy to use them. I know you’re busy and don’t have spare time to reach out to Bad Chad Customs but I know you have the ticket he needs. Thanks for the Adventure 👍
