    Good save on the oil cap, nothing like good old American ingenuity

    Well, I met with Cory today, super nice guy, and had my drug test done. So hopefully I will be on board soon. Get to go out with a trainer, not sure for how long though, but it's OK. I don't mind it. Got to learn all the good stuff. Hope to meet some of you guys soon. Be safe everyone and enjoy your weekend. :biggrin_25519:

    They are 18. Easy to replace just follow instructions on package...they just clip in nice and pretty.......

    Sitting in new London wi getting unloaded 2 hours early....thought it was going to be tighter than it was....probably going to have to explain my logs to tim in the am....but oh well all legal like....but are just funny looking....

    Kinda thankful I kinda know the roads around this part of the state...cause there are quite a few that
    T are under construction and closed...had to do some on the fly route adjustments to get here and still managed to be 2. Hrs early on a load I thought would be late as hell....

    Welcome aboard!

    I'm at the mother ship until late tonight. Pulled in yesterday with 7 minutes left...hehehe. Dropped the trailer to get the reefer status lights fixed and got my truck washed. Had a nice quiet evening at the hotel and gonna be a lazy day today. Trying to squeeze in a 34 before my pick up in Schuyler, NE. This load is a two stop with #1 in Austinburg, OH on Sunday and Harrisonburg, VA on Monday. Harrisonburg is becoming my second home these days.

    Really looking forward to my vacation in a week!

    Uggg I spoke too soon.....I am still in the dock at Sara lee....they had me in one dock and took a couple combos off...then they stuck me in another dock and I have been sitting here all morning......I called dale and he told me to call him back in an hour for status.....


    UPDATE: The dock is broke....I guess its stuck where it is with me attached to the building via my ICC bumper care of those awesome cool docking locks.....and the temperature is rising.....but the unit is trying to keep up...guess at least it isnt 100 degrees outside...

    I'm sorry, Mic, but that's funny.

    @ Hawk. As stated, 18" for the win. Also, when you do get the new blades, they don't need any of the fancy hardware modifiers that come with most blades, they work right out of the box. To get the old ones off, just flip the blade away from the windshield (so that you're looking right at the part that usually touches the glass) and you'll see a little tab sticking out where the blade assembly connects to the metal arm. Depress the tab and push the blade firmly toward the root of the arm. It might be sticky, but all that mounts the blade is the u-shaped metal end of the arm and that little tab on the blade.

    Thanks notez, for awhile I was wondering if my posts were actually showing. But anyway, I call today to find out when I'm going out. Possibly Sunday. Have a good Vacation in a week.
