    Seriously, I usually check Dealers prices first, often to get a base line. if I have a choice/time. Often they’re cheapest. Recently I’ve found 5 gal. Trans oil, $169, fan kit, $390,( out of stock ofcourse), and king pins, original Merritor $205. All priced considerably less than others.

    Been getting a little here and there.
    F35’s from us military news
    Russia from foreign news. Seems China is trying to take Kamchatka. So Putin aligned with India.
    Sure you know about the India China problems?
    Nothing on japan other than they’re with us. Involved
    others doing what they can

    personally.. China has enough problems. They don’t need to be picking any fights

    The ramp up was back in July, can'tseeus getting involved in anything between Russia and China. The F35's...maybe replacements for older aircraft on those carriers.

    So here is Truck II's situation this morning.

    He's on time at receiver.

    They can't unload him.

    His load for today is now gone.

    The load he has now, probably going to need to go to a warehouse ( tomorrow ).

    What would WesternPlains do???

    4 cups of coffee, and I still don’t feel like getting busy. I think a hot shower is in order. I’m sore all over. Makes Me realize what the Truck Mechanics deal with everyday. It’s hard work. And potentially dangerous. I can only imagine what the older ones have to deal with, pain wise.

    Like everything else you get used to doing the same thing day after day. It is harder when you're not used to it

    Here's the tale of two truckers.

    One would purchase these for $120.

    One would find some carpet scraps for nothing.
