    Wish my parents were that nice when I was a kid. Saturday morning dad would flip the bedroom light on and walk away. Then when I'd get out of bed to yell at him it was like: "oh great you're up! Truck's not going to grease itself!"

    I'm noticing a lot of posts where company drivers are posting about mechanical issues. Like say the truck is not running correctly. Shop says its fine but something is obviously not right. Now what would be the proper protocol? Keep bugging them about it? Or just send it and let it blow up so long as you've got documented proof the shop(s) say its fine?

    They dont mess with the megas for the most part. Only small companies and owner ops. We had like 4 or 5 guys that had brake violations during brake safety week this past week. All OOS violations too...its crap like that i hate, because then everytime we go thru the scale there is a big red bullseye painted on the side of the door.... Out of all the parts to neglect on ur truck , id think brakes shouldnt even be on that list....

    #2 what they call a 594 pipelayer. Weighs bout 95000 lbs. Can weigh up to 105000 lbs. Stripped shipping weight.. Ask any of the seasoned operators and they will tell ya those run and operate better than the newer ones.
    #3 rigid spreader bar. Have a manual regulator to adjust axle weight. Normally called an Eastcoast setup. I have quick release valve plummed in it to dump air if I get in to much of a dip in the road. Best be on level ground when adjusting it to be accurate. Im not a fan of the nitrogen stingers. Every one I've seen has a high rate of failure with the cylinders or accumulator.
