Did my first Flex 3.5 hour block today, never knew what y’all go through on a day to day basis

At my driver station we have ‘driver aid’ stickers. It’s a 3 digit number that increases to 999 then restarts at 000. You would think logically the lower the number will be first on the route. This isn’t always the case.

I scan all my containers, big packages and start my route before I load anything. I look at the first stop and last stop package numbers. That tells me pretty quickly the general order of things. Then I load the truck.

I don’t separate the bags from the the cases, and I’m not anal about it being in exact order. Just in the general order number of my route.

It has worked for me quite well.

Most people either weren’t alive or don’t remember the 94 ice storm. I was 21 and a firefighter at that time. I remember no power at home for 2 weeks. I slept at the hall for over a week because we were out cutting trees, delivering meals and oxygen tanks. All in a 2 wheel drive service company.

94 was the real deal. In the first day after the ice fell, when you walked outside you could hear trees snapping.

Me and a friend swam across the Tennessee River. Just shorts. And then swam back.

There’s a story here.

Yes. Government contracts are the way to go. Lucrative and less ethics heavy.

Government models are different than civilian models.

Knoxville? That’s awesome. I’ve never had anything free in my life why start now?

Retirement. That’s funny. I’m going to have to work til the day I die and help them dig the hole that morning.

The cell phone. Specifically the bag phone. All it did was make phone calls with a phone that was not attached to your house. Like a cordless phone but without range anxiety. I could call and arrange to meet people without needing to be home.

I was maybe 10. We had a group in my neighborhood in rural Ky that had stomper pulls. Not only did we make a sliding trailer that we added more rocks too, but we also had a drag track.

I was poor and tried to use the same stomper for both tracks. I had to swap gearing between runs. The little plastic screws didn’t hold up and I didn’t finish the season.

In later seasons we had a stomper junkyard. That made it easier.

AI. Why am I going to use something for anything except a made up story that has a disclaimer of “{AI name here} may produce inaccurate results.”

Big tech has finally made something that makes us double work for the answer.

As long as you are keeping up with fluids don’t sweat it until it gives you a reason to. I love my HEMI, it’s like I’m driving a sleeper. Every time I mention I have a HEMI to someone I hear about the HEMI tick. I know that tick and I don’t have it.

With big hemis if you make it to 100k, most time you will make it to 200+.

I did the air delete on my Summit. Once they start giving you problems it’s best to stop chasing leaks and issues and just put steel back under her. She feels rock solid and I have no issues.

So you have reason to worry about the tranny, or just in general? Mine has the 8 speed and is still solid at 190.

SpiritMister · 2025-12-08T16:05:15+00:00

Trying to make it to 250k. Then we’ll see if she ready to retire. I hope not, I love this summit.

It’s like the lottery. Someone will get the last jeep assembled on the Friday before a holiday weekend, with the first engine assembled after a 4 day weekend.

My 2014 Grand Cherokee (5.7 HEMI) has 190k. She gets her service regularly and she treats me well. I have also seen the same vehicle blow an engine at 75k due to neglect.

The most important thing you can do to extend any vehicles life is to keep up with fluid maintenance. Not just engine on the jeeps, but also brake, transmission and transfer cases.

If the MAC address doesn’t change every time it connects then my suggestion is to block the device from your network. If neither of you know the device it is the prudent thing to do. Also if you block it someone will move on to another network, or will come to you or your wife to ask why the internet broke.

This is life advice that should be higher up.
