    I is currently in wait at Stop 1.

    An agent called and is not pleased that I don't want his load.

    "Do you mind if I ask why?"

    a) I'm under load.

    b) If it were worth a da##, it would have popped on my load alerts.

    c) Now do you mind me asking what your point is?

    Never mind sir.

    I think he was less than satisfied on his survey.

    Well. At shop getting alignment and gonna get a tire.
    Front one has a few dips so it’ll be a good trailer spare.
    These prostars when you gotta change kingpin bushings. You gotta replace front axle.
    Genius design.
    Prostar steer axles (e.g., Hendrickson Steertek) are designed differently, making them seem "non-serviceable" (kingpin is part of the axle), though bushings and pins can often still be replaced using specialized kits.

    I don’t know any shop around here spending money to save you from replacing an axle.

    Change is beginning to become apparent. A lot of places still open are on short hours and minimum staff. Winding down.
    Hang on and go completely broke waiting for a turn, or shut it down and take the hit . Decisions....

    Nice mend. Looks similar to my SIL feet, both done by a young doc in Austin (2010 ish). He slipped and fell 16 feet to land on a concrete sidewlk sloping forward/downward, All forces on middle to end of heel. 1st two surgeons at St David's said amputation. Then this guy took the shot.

    Came in the room afterwards and commented to Howard. "I did a job on your feet." Howard replied, "Well I thank you." Doc said no, I did not think it would work, but tried. (I got pics somewhere, long nails thru heels slants forward.)
