    Well I sat the rest of Monday in Coraopolis, watched the Steelers play the Texans. This afternoon I finally got a new load, took an empty to Nalco in Ellwood, PA dropped it off and then picked up a loaded one now on my way to Houston.

    Finally home, had my first DOT 1 Inspection on Wednesday, only had a small air leak on my service line, you had to push on the glad hand to get it to leak, but he did! So was OOS for about an hour until SEM showed up to fix it. Not bad, got to Sugarland to drop the trailer early, so now I'm off until Sunday. Fixing up some stuff on the truck, then off to College Station for a Wedding and to see my Daughter and grandson.

    How the hell is pushing on the glad hand to make it leak a legitimate failure?!? That DOT cop needs a slap! None the less, glad you got squared away and things are going good for you.

    Isn't that the same when cops smash the headlight with a flashlight?

    Finally? I've been driving 8 years and I've had 2 inspections. They aren't that common.

    So NJ is not to bad, made the delivery a little early, got over to Keasbey, NJ to the OC/TankWash and they have me scheduled for the SafeTrack training this morning at 8, but although I sat almost all of yesterday I did get 2 NEW super singles on my truck and fixed a couple other minor things plus did my laundry! This training is for Nalco cert. so they're moving me up a bit early! ALL GOOD I hope!
