    I went from Phoenix to dallas via greyhound. If a company isn't going to rent me a car or fly me, I won't go.

    when will you be in El paso? I'm delivering in Van Horn monday morn. Nearly positive they're going to send me to el paso from here. Nothing out here that I know of and el paso is only 100 miles.

    I should be in El Paso this afternoon (Sun) for a 0800 Monday dlvry. That is if I can keep the tires on the trailer round. Blew one yesterday and have a flat this morning. Another is soft. Don't think the Meritor system is working.

    OK, the poop they don't tell you. The system was working fine - the valve was shut off. Now I know where the valve is, how to check tire pressure and how to shut off air to a single tire, if need be. A little more systems knowledge could save time and money. Then again, little knowledge can be dangerous. If nothing else a bit of trouble shooting training.

    Explain cause my trailer has random hissing but nothing flat or loosing air.

    So I needed new pvc to push straps and not being a super trucker and spending 20 on a paint pole. Got a 10 foot piece and an adapter to cut it down. No one was there to cut it so I had to fit 10 feet in my sti which was fun. Spent 2 bucks, cut it in half and glued one end into adapter so can fold up and fit in my box and angled one end to fit in hook.

    I didn't angle one end of mine so every time I used it the strap hooks would slide off and I'd have to start over. That got old fast.
