    I heard the Qualcom ask that question so they can keep up with service due times?

    The QC and hub odometers start off at zero when the truck, if it was towed to the dealer, will only have 65 miles on it, since they were bobtailed up from Sioux City when new. Over time, minor differences in accuracy, especially due to running bald drive tires, will make them even further apart in their reading.

    Actually the brewery wasn't too terribly bad, but you can definately tell they are a union shop with their lack of urgency to do anything. Robinson told me it isn't set up for delivery until Friday but I talked them into taking it tomorrow. 632 miles over two days does not sound like fun to me! On the bright side though, I got a nifty CVSA sticker for my window this morning on my way up to Rochester! Normally a level 1 takes about 30 minutes to do, but this guy was extra thorough and took an hour. He was kinda miffed though when I told him I'm on elogs and I had the directions so no catching this guy! He did ask to see if I had the load info entered though so make sure to have that in there, I was empty so no big deal. After all was said and done he said "just wanted to let you know your right front wheel seal is slightly damp with oil, but I'll let it go on a verbal", which really meant nothing was wrong but just trying to justify myself. He was actually an alright guy so I didn't give him the whatever eye roll.

    My right front hub IS actually seeping a little. And I just updated my load tab before I read this from leaving the house Friday til now!

    Well I'm parked here in the Miles Standish (Miles who?!) that hawk suggested for me on my first run up here. I forgot it's a number of miles from Sysco. But once again by the skin of my teeth I can roll at 0744 for my 0800 so PTI be ###### I think any reasonable person will let it slide for 3.5 miles.
