    At the yard now waiting to get the truck in the shop. Just what I wanted to be doing today -said no driver ever. I was a bit of a smart ### when I went up to the window. (No! Not me!):angel13:
    Asked if maybe they could actually fix it this time instead of just clearing the codes. I wish I could've held out a little longer for Shayne or Barry to work on it, but no dice. Wonder which yahoo it'll end up being?:mfrown::Monkey wrench::Screwdriver::Wrench:

    Until they come and get it, I guess it's tv time in the truck.

    I went thru the same route last night as well. 95 to 64west, to us 1 south, to us 501 south, to 74 east back to 95 south. Comes out at exit 14. Mostly highway until the 501 route. Then it's two lane. I didn't make it to the "south of the border". I parked at the Sundo, on 74. Small place but plenty of truck parking.

    Where are you headed too? I went through there last night. I'm headed to Daytona Beach, with one of those World Market loads.

    Did that one last week right before the storm. You'll be right across the street from the speedway. Good place to spend the night. Do you have the Winter Haven warehouse stop on it as well?

    No just the one store. May I ask, did you overnight there? If so, where at. I looked at it on google earth, but look kinda small behind it from satellite view.

    I ran to Wilson to grab a trailer heading for College Park, MD... sitting here waiting for the truck in front of me to get unloaded... darn slow for everything being palletized... they must be running it around the construction site and lifting it up to the top one at a time... ugh.

    While I burned through my 14.

    @RebelChick i have a DH to HP-DC after this so if you are still on the yard (I know, funny) I will look you up.

    $135 for an electrical service call is not bad, especially in Fla.

    Glad you got it fixed. Wish I could have been more help
