    Still in Ardmore OK..... Got a load going north Not ready till 2000.... Maybe earlier ... Maybe after a layover pay? Ready for cooler temps ... Idle since 1500 Sat Need to go to the J & top off ... A/C still only at 80% ...works better when sitting at fuel island with hood open .... Should highlight ... Laborday is next week , got a fresh 70 though!

    Where is that? Under the hood? Lol !

    seems like it's not getting enough air flow when on the MAX setting , makes a strange noise.... if I turn to reg A/C blows hard but gets warmish

    Had same type of issue with my Prostar at Knight. Mechanic in CA said it was a temp door problem inside the dash. I quit before my shop had a chance to fix it.

    Just unloaded 1000 tires one by one at Michelin in Wichita. Wow, what a workout. Took almost 4 hours.

    The A/C condenser looks like a radiator -- if there are leaves blocking it it might not cool as well as it should. But if the fan is making noise I don't know... Is the bunk's temperature switch on the coldest setting?

    Did you start to get the hang of it? If you bounce tires off your knee they roll pretty good out the back -- usually you end up having to wait on the guy on the other end.

    How?! You haven't done a Michelin or Anna's load?

    Paul hasn't lived until he wakes up to a left by stay up together husband wife kc hand tire unload. (who are in parking lot walking around with dog? huh what?)

    I was so pissed that day and on here lol xD

    too funny thinking about it.

    that's pretty good tc

    I woulda stretched that out to 10 hours. usually I go so slow it gets the guy watching to help me cause they get tore up.
    Meanwhile I stand back and do half the production he does while we both get paid by the hour.

    Better known by dockworkers as "Grannie."
