    Is it just me, or does 95PSI oil pressure sound a bit extreme?

    I was thinking the same thing. But, it is a Dodge, so who knows.

    Before I did a motor flush and oil/filter change and that was when it's cold, once I changed the oil, at normal operatine temp it's 30 psi at idle and mid-50's when rolling.

    On this episode of “You Know What Grinds My Gears?!”

    ####ing offset hookups, 12’ pigtails, and truck connections on the passenger side. I’m responsible for the last one, the first two are goofballs that don’t know how to order equipment.
    these trailer with offset hookups have damaged my last three trucks electrical pigtail in someway or another. Luckily this time I’m able to get by with some zip ties until I can get the right plug end, the wiring itself is not damaged. IMG_6670.jpeg

    I hate those like that. Always thought it was a stupid idea to put them on one side.

    I've only done the Walmart dedicated.. one time in 12 years at Creffer...and will NEVER do it again ...if I wanted to do Walmart...I'd go to work and drive at Walmart...much better pay and benefits than Creffer ...but different people like different things

    I wonder what the benefits of working for an outside carrier is vs working directly for Walmart? My assumption is they couldn’t get hired at Walmart, won’t slip seat trucks, don’t know what to do with all those Wally bucks.

    well I moved an empty trailer up to Wichita and was heading home for a few days before my next Canadian trip. Now I have two loads lined up for the weekend totaling around 1100 miles and I’m still going to try to sneak a reset in somewhere. Feast or famine around here sometimes.

    Those who fill in on that Walmart dedicated usually get the scraps that the regular drivers dont get..
