    That is a good load, I still haven't done my taxes lol, sending them off to atbs this week though. Sucks you might owe, how that happen? You need to start an IRA or two. That's one of my goals this year. Anyways, dispatcher called me at 7 am this morning just to tell me they don't have anything yet...great, appreciate that.

    I called my DM this morning at 6 pacific time only to find out that there was nothing yet. But by 9am she called back saying to get to Eugene, OR asap for a load going to New Castle, DE. But once I picked up my trailer at the TS by my house I saw a tire was off the bead, so once I got that handled I was on my way and here I sit at the shippers an hour early. Lol

    edit 2 - just got told to forget that and load in LA on Thursday with a stop in Anaheim ending in Ft. Worth. Legal.

    I always claimed 2.. But given i claimed married filing separately i may owe more. The word isnt out on the street yet.

    My load fell apart today.. Its a shell load & They want pipe racks instead of our pipe stakes so all 5 of us had to wait for it to get here, which was too late, and well load tomorrow instead. The group im convoying with are pretty cool tho. Monday delivery, then I suspect deadhead out as usual.

    Diesel.. Did you end up calling breakdown or did that method work? Sweet load tho!

    Mystikal, the home remedy worked. Thank goodness for the auto-inflation system. I apprieciate the help.

    Yeah, can't be too upset about a 3k run after some hometime. Plus its a super easy load, a recycling plant that's only 33k

    Mystikal, are you in a 379? I didn't think those were allowed in AB. But, I have been known to be wrong... a lot. Lol

    Why wouldn't they be allowed in Alberta?

    Wheelbase to long. At least that's what I have heard.

    Yeah, I've heard conflicting things, that 379's aren't allowed in eastern Canada or that they aren't allowed in Canada at all. So I dunno. But everyone says its because of the wheelbase.

    let me guess c-15 acert caterpillar? the line running from behind the head and back toward filter? if so a common problem the clamps that hold the hose in place cut thru it, i have replaced mine.

    out of curiosity was that your problem?
