    I'm getting so tired of this "New Reality" we're living in now.

    Parts shortages everywhere. Dealers and service shops dont have the parts. Never fear some business person out of the goodness of their hearts have snatched up multiple pieces of each part and will sell them to you for 3 times the normal cost.

    It’s only going to get worse. We can’t even keep baby formula stocked on the shelves.

    Had a productive 10 days out, doing one last little hop from Anderson, Sc. to Danville, Va., deliver at 0400 tomorrow, then taking four days off and going to our place on the Lake.

    I have two good loads booked for next week, and will probably stay out another 10 days when I come back out. Going to run pretty hard in June, because I plan on taking several days off in July. We have several visits from the kids and grandkids, looking forward to seeing them.

    To add to the parts shortage there is now apparently a theft ring going around With freightliners. Apparently thieves are targeting freightliners , they're stealing the power train control module. They are after the semiconductor in This module , they are selling them on the black market Where it gets reprogrammed to fit another truck. But, this part is VIN# Specific , so if freightliner is notified in time They can have it blacklisted So that it is unable to be reprogrammed, rendering it useless to the thief. As usual , lock your truck's voice. Hopefully everyone is able to park in a secure enough location When they are on home time or away from the truck that they don't have to worry about this. if not please take any precautions you can

    That’s crazy, I’m surprised they aren’t stealing one boxes. They are on back order for up to six months.

    You better hope it’s still there and not doing OTR on the other side of the border.
