    Wait till you haul a load of milk to Fla. Oh great fun that was a the bug check station.

    Thats easy. Different types of trees grow stronger in different parts of the country. The slower the tree grows the tighter the grain.

    Kinda like when I haul onions from Idaho (a state known for potato's) to Ga (a state known for growing onions)



    Home.....for a week or so.

    Find a reason that you want to go to Peru and tell your dispatcher and you'll never see Peru again. LOL:biggrin_25523:

    I'm not sure where to post this question... Does anybody here know if that Sam's Club/ Walmart on I-80 IL xt 130 is a ok place to park overnight? Never been there. Going to pick/up nearby on Monday morning and need to park in the area. Thanks. :biggrin_25519:

    PO'ed. Very, very PO'ed.

    Took the truck to Husky International in Spokane, WA, original problems being A/C inop and an air leak. Got it back, still leaking air and A/C lasted six days. Back to Husky for the exact same issues plus coolant loss. Got it back again, still leaking air as much as ever. A/C only lasted three days this time. They say they put a new EGR cooler on, and I don't seem to be losing coolant. Fuel economy has improved as well. But something odd...I hear my valves tap when I used the jake. It didn't do that before. No idea what that would be about.

    So guess who's getting a phone call Monday morning.:biggrin_25510:

    Problems with truck....:biggrin_25513: A friend of mine spent sooooo much money and time... and got soooo pissed with mechanics that would charge him an arm and a leg and would not fix anything and/or would damage something else.... he finally sold his truck and bought a newer one. The "new" truck had a few problems but as it was under warranty, he was able to get those fixed right away and running ok so far, till the next breakdown....

    I've had it with that shop. I am not going to allow payment for work not done. They were supposed to fix it, not. Bandaid it and recharge the system.

    There are more shops around than this wannabe RomperRoom.
