    Hey, that is no good?? I'm not finished with being broke down yet, I came back to Nashville from Dalton to get the truck looked at and they could not find anything to cause it to smoke like crazy, so they had me hook to my loaded trailer and the tech hooked up his computer and we were going for a drive to see if it would smoke and to see if he could find the cause, I'm pulling up the drive and I hear a clank.. the drive shaft broke right at the yoke, so I called the shop that helped me when I originally broke down and they came and pulled the shaft out for rebuilding, so by noon Friday they will be back on the original problem.

    Who would have thought that hooking up a computer would cause the drive shaft to break? What the heck kind of OS is that dude running...:biggrin_25525:

    Denver terminal for the night then heading to........VEGAS baby! lol, as soon as I pulled into AB the qualcomm goes off, load assigned, picking up at...AB!

    So I drop my trailer full of empty kegs and come back around so they can weigh me bobtail. Go inside and the security guy is not a happy camper. The guy behind me pulled up and stopped ON the scale. WTF? And of course there's a line behind him so was unable to back off, so I had to go back around and then to the end of the line since someone was an idiot.
