    I only use mine as a last resort. Can usually get somebody to help me out and print a BOL for me. A lot of times even the shipper or receiver will help you out if you get somebody's email and forward the PDF attachment to them. I've also had hotel lobbys and truck stop fuel desks help me out. Would be nice not having to deal with that pain in the butt.

    I'll have to see if my old phone still has the pics.

    Boss rigged up the hood so many times and each time it tore a bigger hole.

    Last time he used a plate and some type of plastic paste that hardened really good. That was the best repair
    For awhile. Now the holes on each side are over 12 inches. The radiator is toast. Wipers and linkage are stripped. Holes in the firewall. Hood has a nice Crack from the radiator supporting it.

    How none of the hoods have fallen on the engine is beyond me.

    And to think. For $2500 he coulda had a new hood. Before covid. X 7 hoods I think he has.

    That's cheaper then destroying the trucks.

    This price is steep for a million mile truck, but pop in a 13sp & a eld will still work..
    Maybe hang those super singles in a dumpster too, unless that's your thing.. lol
