    Who knows. We got paid commission. We didn't track hours. I honestly don't know and definitely didn't even think to ask at the time. Made good money and had some good times. There were definitely some hustler worthy stories. All the snow bunnies getting away with their friends.....good times. Buddy of mine actually had relations with 2 playboy centerfold girls! And because he knew I would call BS.....he had pics to prove it.....lol.

    Not unless your engaged in transportation. Every state is different. Under recovery and emergency your not subject in Ohio. Plus exempt from weights and measurements.
    But if your engaged in secondary tow, or transportation you are required to follow standard rules.

    Michigan however you better cross scales. I've had a number of over weights in Michigan with a wrecker. Bondout and get on down the road.

    I never bought into that whole extended oil change interval, don't care what they're claiming, I aint buyin it. The oil is the life blood, the filter(s) the liver. Every hour that engine runs, and even when it's shut down, contaminants accumulate, filters get loaded, oil gets diluted, wear occurs. IMO, extending oil/filter changes is foolish...

    I’m not into extended oil drains. With every truck I’ve owned I’ve always changed oil at 15,000, my DD15 the last few I’ve taken to 20,000 and feel bad about that.

    If I was @shooter19802003 i wouldn’t worry about the additives in the oil, I’d run it until 15,000 and have it done on the road or wait until I got home and do it. Especially with good samples going to 18,000 once in a blue moon ain’t gonna hurt anything imo.
