    And then assess bad boy points for it....

    The one thing I like about this company is how they deal with stuff. Upon further review, there were a few minor pieces of plastic under the hood that got cracked when things came apart. Like the plastic around the headlight access door and where the turn signal socket locks in. I took pictures and sent it to safety, then called in to do any write-up they needed. Safety said "those things happen, don't worry about it, have a great weekend"...and that was it. At Creaffer, I would have had to give a deposition swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and explain why my tire did what it did.

    Well sir if you had been monitoring your tires for ABC’s regularly as expected, you would have seen the damaged caused 30 seconds before the tire let go. If you ever hope to live up to Crete standards, you must do better.

    haha just kidding.

    I see 62 mph in their future, no more fuel solution changes from the Peoplenet, even more to tightening on truck swaps for breakdowns. Have to fight for detention. Looks like we vamoosed just in time.

    maybe that is why they have a lot of drivers who don't like to run over 3-350 miles a day

    Well do you work for a company that pays you for all of your on duty time including breakdowns?

    Just missed you in Missoula, I got in yesterday and I’m spending the weekend before getting unloaded Monday before heading to Spokane. Glad things seem to be working out better for you, well except for some of the crazy truck issues. I’ve had two new clamps tried on my power steering to try to chase the leak, another bad design from PACCAR, but I’m sure the cost was right. Also looking at a leak from my roof cap, when I was at Magnum I had to have the thing removed and reattached to cure the leak on my 579, I hope that’s not the case again but all that water freezing and unfreezing can’t be good in the long term.
