    Finally got my paint brushes off yesterday. Was told a 7pm appointment, got there at 6, was put in a door and they had 80+ pallets unloaded in no time. Was leaving the facility at 7pm. Why they couldn’t do that the night before was beyond me. Had a reload down in Lancaster which turned into a simple drop and hook. Split my sleeper and delivered in Wheeling at 0700 this morning. Got my reload assignment as I was getting empty. Boars Head with 2 drops in Orlando Sunday morning. Supposedly if I call them tomorrow they will take me early. Early to me is Saturday morning. Not some disgusting early morning time on Sunday. 8am and 11am Sunday is fine, don’t tell me 3am and 5am. sitting at the Loves in Circleville enjoying and extended break.

    Burned the midnight oil to get to my second stop in Roanoke. Have me going to Wytheville to grab a gatorade load to drop on the yard in Richmond. They are really adamant about no dead head miles now. Tried to tell them deadheading me to the shop would be better being my engine won't blow coolant everywhere and overheat if empty or light but I guess they are more worried about fuel cost than my engine.....engine is mainly spraying coolant when heavy and going up hills constantly. Going to have to baby the truck with the heavy arse gatorade load.... Wytheville is going backwards to get to Richmond....Oh well, I don't own the truck....

    Only ended up with little over 1500 miles this week due to that camera and other truck issues. Better than the grim 900 miles I thought I was only going end up with. Better to be relatively close to a shop when stuff breaks though. Shop said they were running behind yesterday so hopefully they get to me today. Rather only end up sitting for 34 than whole weekend if they don't get me today with the coolant leak and my drive tires looked at too. Also discovered my inside drives were wearing down funny on the inside treads so thinking it is either alignment or bad shocks. The regen system isn't quite working right either and check engine light comes on due to that too.

    Here’s the new cameras. It’s the one to the right of my dash cam. The other picture shows the key pad with the panic button to push in case of an incident. Just push the green button to save the recoding.

    I decided to get my own dashcam just in case there is an incident, that way we could compare notes while not relying on just one video.

    Do you have to put in a code on the keypad to start the truck? Hated those at Prime...

    No, codes to start the truck. That would be a real pain.
