    Running ahead of schedule so I decided to stop in York, NE and have a layer of crud washed of my chariot. I sincerely think I had the remnants of a billion bugs on my truck. When he took the long wand and washed the overhead of the sleeper, the foam coming down was a beige color instead of white. I also see that my windshield still leaks, but it's a Freightliner, so no shocker there.

    And BP (the T/A-Petro parent company) needs to do some major fixing on this place's parking lot. I went around some chuck holes so deep, I thought I here the echo's of Chinese people talking(as in, if you fell in the hole you'd pop up in China). They have all this money to build new T/A express locations but won't keep up with the older locations.

    I would get pictures of the lot and send it to them via social media…

    @48Packard, this is what you'll have to look forward to. When I accepted the preplan for the load I am on going to Lincoln, I told my A/M that, after delivery, I won't be available until tomorrow because my truck is due for a service. He confirmed my PTA, and this morning I get the automated message than once again confirmed my PTA for tomorrow. Then, 15 min later I get a preplan that picks up today and delivers tomorrow in IA. They totally ignore PTA's here. Why do we even bother putting in a PTA in the first place.

    It's a Freightliner...I have never had one that didn't have windshield leaks. One of the old Century class Crete trucks I had leaked so bad, they bought a plastic cover the shape of the fuse box to keep it from getting wet and shorting out. They got tired of resealing it every time I took it in the shop.

    Having dealt with Schneider the last decade, and seeing the “improvement” each new bit of “driver approved” technology they implemented, I feel very prepared to deal with more stuff such as what you describe. :eek::)
