This will be an interesting thread moving forward......

The newest mechanic is supposed to know how to weld. That trailer in the pic above was what he was welding on this morning. Evidently the trailer came off the hitch because it wasn't secured to the ball properly. It has bends and cracks in the frame. He had to leave ....so naturally I was curious about the welds he was doing.

YIKES!!!!..........I mean TRIPLE YIKES!!!!! No way I'd pull this trailer with a mini ANYTHING on it.

Dang that looks like hammered dog crap. I’ve known bull riders dead and alive that can weld better than that. Get the X-ray tech out it’s ready for X-ray

The idler itself looks pretty good. Can just the shaft and bushings be replaced or is the insides of the idler buggered up, maybe not cost effective to fix?

It was f&*%$#d. By the time I buy parts and at my labor rate..........I can replace it at the same or cheaper cost.

and that Idealarc is a smoothe welder. I enjoy using that one.

 

[HarleyHappy]

So the grape fest wasn’t the welders fault?

 

[cfherrman]

No he just needs paint

Probably the one good machine they can't destroy. Idealarcs have a well deserved reputation. Much like SA200's.

I wouldn’t bet LMM’s lunch on it.

 

[Vetech63]

I was told yesterday that LMM has been sent home 4 times so far for sleeping in his truck on the job. Ill bet he's been doing that more often than he's been caught. Alan continues to save him evidently.

 

[Truck Shop]

He's probably been coming in punching in on the time clock and taking a crap on company time
to save on toilet paper too.

 

[thepumpguysc]

WOW.!!! Just plain WOW.!!
What happened to 3 strikes and you’re out.??!!!
Wonder if he’s drinking on the job too.??

 

[Newibiner]

We should change his handle from Lmm to lol!

 

[TCat]

Man that company is just unbelievable, they really don't deserve to stay in business. What a shame...

 

[Joe H]

He can't do too much damage while he's sleeping.

I don't know--coin flip which is worse a napper or a time clock crapper, I guess it could
be worse, a napper because he's worn out from being a crapper.

 

[Welder Dave]

His new name is Crapper Napper. Wonder if he's related to or knows someone higher up in the company? Maybe Alan doesn't want to look like an idiot for having to let him go since he hired him.

[Newibiner]

Lost crapper napper ?

 

[colson04]

Large Crapper Napper

 

[Truck Shop]

Thing is a guy like that might be a rapper too, which translates to-----------------.

 

[Welder Dave]

The name could catch on based on the names of other rappers and musicians.
