    I had all but given up on today. Monday wasn’t looking good either. Tried to put together a few different things. No Luck. One good load that I missed out on called back just after 5:00. Someone must have fell off it. I was able to bump the rate up a bit. Supertrucker sprang into action, Lol, everyone’s happy. I am THE MAN ! For now anyways, Lol. Looks like I saved the day. and hopefully made a good connection for the future. Loading now. This is a crazy Business, just never can tell sometimes how a day will end. They saved my day too. Gotta love it.

    Better start learning unless you're willing to run on a speed limiter. We all know they're coming. I'm shopping for a mechanical CAT these days because I'll be selling my E model if doesn't end up exempt.

    I've got some experience, just not enough on the pumps. Last one i was page for page in the service manual, and that was close to 17-18 years ago.

    My son just put a clutch in that same truck. The farmer told my son it still runs great.

    Do you have the software and cable? Set the speedlimit whatever you want regardless. It's not like anyone will notice. They don't even enforce EOBR. How the F can they enforce another stupid regulation on 8 million trucks?

    Well if u stay at the hotel across the street from the pilot/j in Barstow. I must have you know that all those lightpoles set up in the parking lot of the hotel. I delivered those when they were building the hotel couple years ago. So you have me to thank for being able to walk around in the dark :biggrin_2559:
