    I'll talk to them about it next time I see them I was just a bit mad because this repair costs $700 vs just $200 for 1 hour labor and that sensor. I think the manifold part isn't cheap and the other sensors also.

    Well, I only had the occasional need so I never intentionally maxed it out.

    Was more of an estimate than actual first hand knowledge. I’ll bow to your lived experiences in this area.

    From the background I’d put good money that you are in Four Oaks NC.

    If you are, that’s actually an issue with the physical Yard slope. I’ve picked up many a high trailers there and finally gave it some thought.

    What I believe is happening there is the slope of the Yard is in one direction when we drop in row 1 but it’s sloped the opposite direction in row 2. Which means, I think, the nose is at first closer to the ground when dropped and, as you can see in your photos, pointing up more and further way from the ground when picked up.

    I don’t think the driver or yard dog has anything to do with it nor is it fixable.

    I might be wrong and open for other logical answers too.

    I understand the frustration but my ten days around thanksgiving was due to waiting on a warranty part to be delivered and installed. Some days there just are no good options.

    Will be running hard now the rest of December to catch up from a totally disappointing November.

    I see in the Friday Safety Message they mention Open Enrollment is closing 12/14. This is the first I’m hearing anything about Open Enrollment. Did I mess something over my 10 day thanksgiving day break?

    I haven’t been to Four Oaks in quite awhile…i think i was last there at in April. First load i took in my new truck


    Picking up at some wood/paper plant in Counce, TN going up to Menomonie, WI. Problem is that there appears to be 3 or 4 trucks ahead of me and i’m out in banjo country with 1.75 hours left on my drive clock
