Climate Express

Got out surprisingly quick. 2.5 hours after appointment isn't too bad. RE Garrison has some of the friendlier brokers I've talked to. Pleasant experience all around

 

When I worked at climate we dropped and hooked at lineage over near Kansas City. He would go over to 6:35 west of Kansas City off of 70 there drop down and exit jump off like you was going to the pilot and the QuikTrip go down there a little ways and make a turn to get to the place. If you were going south on 635 though you would make a right and go away from the pilot to go down to it.

 

Going to put the Mac flaps underneath my fenders behind my steers. And the other two little pictures there is of my polished battery box that I took the time to do today.

 

Unloaded nasty Dusty b e e t pellets. Got them ground up. And reloaded. And now they're destined for Nestle purina for dog food. Talk about a Dusty mess I tell you.

 

Just a couple good Ole fashioned, bad wheel seals. The best part is it's a trailer with the nicer one piece hubs with the giant site glass. One isn't too bad. One is bone dry and is leaking bad enough it's actually wet and not just damp.

 

I've had the climate shop look at wheel seals that weren't no wetter than that and they always just let them ride. They got to be really wet the entire inner Hub wet for them to consider it is leaking bad enough to fix it. I don't got to worry about that with the trailer I have. My Hubs are grease packed cuz I got disc brakes. Don't have to worry about wheel seals leaking. Of course that's also the nice thing about keeping the same trailer all the time I get very familiar with it and it stays fixed up a lot better. I got new brakes new tires so it's good for a while.

 

Disc brakes are nice -- way less minor issues with them and a lot less 'discretion' needed lol. I liked the way they drove better too. Somehow stopped better AND smoother. Less things for DOT to nitpick and less maintenance required. I'm surprised it's not a universal standard on modern equipment. Less chance of freezing up as well. I really don't know why so many companies shy away from it. I understand not spending the money to convert older equipment, but surprised it's not the chosen spec on new equipment.

Fair enough. My thinking with it all is a leak from a seal will never get better. At best, it'll need regularly topped off and at worst, it'll fail completely and then results can be mild or extreme from there. But, it's the shop's decision and it's worked for em for however long apparently, so more power to em. I don't know enough about finances or mechanics to know if that's actually the best plan of attack, but that's why I'm just a driver lol.
