    There are a couple of sensors in the DPF that over time get so gunked up that they send misinformation back to the ECM causing it to regen constantly, usually they need to be cleaned or replaced if REALLY bad. As far as weekend dispatch goes, it's kind of a crap shoot. We do have stuff coming out of Joslin on Sunday for a Monday delivery if I remember right. Are you using quite a bit of make up oil between your B Services? I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to set the overhead which takes about half a day to do if they don't find anything else while they have the top end torn apart.

    I see you've talked to Matt, Hawk. Yeah, he's got some kind of luck with trucks.

    I've got 757 and it hasn't been terrible, but it sure hasn't been painless. EGR Cooler, coolant leaks, SCR Catalyst.

    Woo!

    No overnight parking at US Foods, Greensburg, straight from the horses mouth. And now a question I should be able to answer myself, how about Sysco on Packer Ave? I believe you can hang out on Packer or nearby without Philly's finest bothering you?

    Negative Ghost Rider. if you take the Packer Ave exit from 76 turn left and then another right onto Front Street. Go all the way to the end and you will be just around the corner from Sysco. At the corner of Front St & Patission is a really good roach coach too! I've never been bothered parking there so you should be fine.
