    Does Knight still have the steer tire showing steel chord equals termination rule? I inadvertently got the Hutchins shop manager canned over that. This person had no business running a shop anyways. I went in for a PM and wrote the left steer up. They ignored it, got to Indy and that guy got on the phone with my shop guy, long story short, I got 10 new tires on my tractor and that shop manager got fired. But overall, with a few exceptions, Knights shops are horrible.

    If the chord shows you will be terminated. I pointed out one of mine that was losing chunks of rubber. A couple spots were pretty deep so Hutchins went ahead and replaced it.

    And some people actually have the audacity to claim that man is created in Gawd's image.
    Gawd help us if it's true....

    Bought a ScanGauge D for the truck. I have it set up to display HP, engine load, current avg. MPG, and boost. It also records several sets of trip data, displays fault codes, and has many other gauges built in. It's pretty cool.

    I am dropping this at the terminal in PA to get a guy home then heading to Nevada on a load delivering on the 18th. This week will be short because of time off but next week will have a crap load of miles on it.

    Well dude has his load home but didn't stay hooked to his empty. Now dispatch is trying to find me one. I wanted to punch him in the face. Did the thought not occur to this guy that I might need a trailer if I am giving him mine? Some people have no sense.

    Sad part is when crap like that happens it messes up the tlr pool and they will normally have to deadhead you quite far to be able to find you one. Frankly most people just think about them selfs and really no more then that. He came and got his load, he was happy and could careless about the situation he left you in.

    TBH these are the kind of people we need to weed out. :(

    I was able to get one but I had to go 175 additional miles to get it. This load will be a day late now. I am told it is first come first serve. It will get there when it gets there.
