well here is the deal. I shut blue off today. Wouldn't start back up. The starter is totally gone now, she's just throwing sparks. I had to get Tankergirls boyfriend to bring a chain and we had to pull start her. Lets just hope I don't kill her on the way home.

Furthermore in the morning i'm going to see if there is somewhere i can drop this trailer and i'm going home, no load. I just don't trust her anymore.

However... Blue is no longer for sale. I'm keeping her.

When I get home I have to find a way to get to council bluffs IA to go get my new truck.

Anyone in TX headed that way give a guy a lift?

it's an ex TMC truck.


Well it looks like I have to drag this trailer home. Or at least to the grand prairie yard. If I turn it in now they tell me it could take weeks to find a new one. New hires go first on the list and it took me 4 days to get mine as a new hire. I was hoping to be able to bobtail home and get a trailer up in IA when I picup the new truck but it now looks like i'll have to bobtail back to TX to get my trailer. more friggin money
