It doesn't seem like these long hours are going to end. I miss doing what I like. Instead, I'm doing what I have to. And the wife and I are struggling because of it.

 

[Tony]

Sometimes you have to be the bad guy. I hate it but there is no other choice.

 

[pvolcko]

Is this a serious request for cash Tony??

 

[pvolcko]

Blind spots in those rigs have to be a bit nerve wracking. I like to get on the gas and get by any rigs I'm around just to avoid getting stuck where I can't be seen.

No bro, this was an off topic statement that was severely miss-timed. I do need the mirrors. As I stated in my other thread, pulling an 8.5' wide trailer (almost 3 meters) is a little hard to see around with stock mirrors. I will get the mirrors, but it will be after this crap storm that has hit me is solved.

I'm working as much overtime as I can right now to try and make up for my shortcomings. But at almost $30/hr, my company is pretty reluctant to give me too much. Last pay period I had only 22 hours of OT and although it did help, it was a small drop in the bucket.

Just hoping that someone can help out until I settle this crap with the dealership.

Yeah, the multi-quote king fails on this one lmao.

It's actually not that bad in a rig which I drive for work every day. The spot mirrors on them are quite handy seeing everything around me. And being a day cab, I can see even more. In my pickup truck though hauling this massive trailer every weekend, I can't see a damn thing around it. When backing, I have to wiggle back and forth just to see where my fenders are. This is what I need the mirrors for. If I go with 1 ton mirrors that are made to haul this kind of load, heated and all, they are about $400. But I think it's only about $100 for the strap on mirror extenders.

But again, this will come AFTER I have settled everything else FIRST!
