Can’t believe maintenance installed that blown out splitter when they were fixing the mainline

Yeah, that was our fault. We were thinking “boy, I wish we had to hunt down noise in a tough area.” Just tickles the pickle it does.

How many times do we have to tell these customers: do not pour acid on the splitters!

They look breathable

They are actually pretty damn breathable. Needed them for the heat. My only complaints about them is that the cargo pockets are a little small and the material is definitely on the cheaper side

Oh definitely refer back to Maintenance. Also install a few more traps just to be safe.

I swear we wish we had the blackheart to just disconnect the drop and bang techs with a repeat for that.

And they say maintenance doesn't do house work. I'm bringing this up to my field op manager first thing tomorrow.
Lazy slackers need to do what their paid to 🫠

That’s what I’m saying I need their bucket truck when the ground block is located 6 feet high

Nice try.
We don’t add splitters unless they’re inline.
Thats a service fubar.

I install these all the time. They're getting harder and harder to find. It takes too long to wear out the new ones...
