    It had a new hubcap and oiler plug put on it last time we had it. It needed a new thermal or thermet plug put inside the outer hubcap. It wasn't leaking air when we picked it up this last time but it had been again at some point cuz there was fresh oil on the rim. The inner drum was soaked with gear oil and gunk. I was told to watch it an see if it kept losing hub oil or not. It maintained the oil level at the add mark. As soon as i took the oiler plug out an topped off the gear oil to the full mark it started leaking air again. Plus whoever changed the inner wheel seal at some point didn't bother to clean the oil an gunk off of the brake drum and brake shoes. Either way it was all written up when we dropped it at the yard when we got back from the dakotas and i expect far better work and or results from our shop. It's their job to fix stuff properly.

    Agreed. They know better. Some of these mechanics really try to cut some corners, its annoying........I'm racking up detention time in Greenville. Me and this other Climate driver are here just waiting around. I had a 0730 delivery appt. I've yet to be unloaded. There was also a 1030 pickup. Maybe the New Century product wasn't ready yet. It would surprise if they opted for me to drop the load at Craftsmen if the delay gets too long.

    We loaded at biagis. I forget to send in for detention. Was there about 4 hours. We just gotta be at craftsmen by morning. Then they'll let us know what to do with the load.

    Lately for some reason they've been giving us some loads that were not doable or barely making it on time. They never used to do that to us.

    Nice man, they got you working some Texas action. I know they had that windshield put on with a quickness. I had one replaced some months back. You gotta love those end dumps with uncovered pebbles lol
