    Ellenwood is extremely short staffed. As for finding the leak they do make a sniffer that can track down where the leak is coming from. I originally wanted an International, but after talking to several o/o's of Internationals I think I'll stay with the Freightshaker. More than one driver has told me nightmares about trying to get repair work done. What I get doe in a day takes them three days to a week. This Cascadia is bad enough to find parts for.

    The latest for me was the arctic switch went bad. I noticed the apu was running hot and then finally it shut down. Called Roehl and then Thermo-King before I started cutting wires. Roehl and Thermo-King both said the same thing so we cut the blue wire and suddenly all the problems were solved.

    theres a d.o.e chart that bases it off the current nat. fuel avg for the week, ours charges each week. right now its like .47 loaded and .37 MT we get the doe avg. based on the chart, but roehl can and does charge less and sometimes more then the nat. avg. depending on the customer so thats how they "skim" from it if any is when they charge higher then the nat. avg.

    I'm up in Massachusetts 30 minutes from Boston. Delivered one load early and actually got me a nice 1500 miler for the weekend. Gonna get a day with the family Saturday. That's always good.
    Good luck fishing. Would not surprise me if someone asks you about looking. But what we aren't allowed to search and compare.
