Didn't think you were. Seemed to me you were just saying that an oil leak is a problem that I should expect to cost me time and money. I think the same. That's why I have been watching it and hoping to make it to home time before I needed to address it. I always try to time any significant service or repair for home time, to reduce the real cost of the work.
Taking the plunge. My journey as an O/O.

The way I see it, if the truck looks pretty, someone's wasting their money, and potentially my time.
That is, however, my opinion, and others are more than welcome to waste time trying to convince me otherwise.Opus Thanks this. -
Can’t tell you how pissed I was the time a Reefer that had potatoes floor loaded needed a wash out in front of me..........Farmerbob1 and JonJon78 Thank this. -

I also keep my eyes open for sane shops near Blue Beacons with only one wash lane.
Example. The Petro in Monee, IL, right across from the single lane Blue Beacon, has a washout only bay. I rarely ever see anyone else use it. Most drivers just get in the three hour Blue Beacon line and wait. -
My name is on the title of this truck and trailer. My dad and grandpa taught me that if you take pride in what you do then other people notice. That’s how I get my foot in the door and when I get in and start working with someone that has above average freight I get called lucky. It’s not luck it’s pride. The money I spend on washing my truck and trailer is peanuts compared to what you’re leaving on the table with your mileage contract. Your frustrations are focused on the wrong thing. -
Clean trucks attract less attention from dot.
My dash is always clean but some of you really use it for a filing cabinet.
Which one will get pulled first? The clean dash or the messy dash?basedinMN_, dwells40 and Midwest Trucker Thank this. -
