    Ask them to just get you a wagon and a set of mules, you could probably get more done.

    I really hate this for you. You have more patience than Job. I hope they get you fixed up soon and get you rolling. Hopefully they have compensated you for your frustrations.

    Really. That's kind of what I was thinking. A few Clydesdale's and a wagon for his beer runs.

    LOL, Clydesdales and a wagon would be total chick bait, better than a puppy.

    You know it IS Genessee Cream Ale I am pulling, which I happen to like. A few cases to take home with me would be great, but I doubt that'd ever happen.

    They hooked up the computer to it and the check engine light went out, but upon the second test drive since the repair the light came right back on again.

    The service advisor says that I can sleep in the truck tonight, they don't lock the front gate or anything... I think rather than get another taxi to the hotel and then back in the morning, I will just camp here. At least there is a truck stop across the street so I can get a shower and some eats.

    I am turning in approx 2700 miles again and yesterday got to Atlanta a day early.I decided to go by shipper and see if I can unload early I pull down a side street to check my directions and as soon as I pull forward I blow right rear super single on tractor. "You got to be shhhhh itttin me" I am .5 miles from my delivery on a side road with heavy traffic. I immediatley take a quick look and start setting triangles. I immediately get a visit by local police also. He starts directing traffic and asks for status update of repair. I was on hold w bd, well the initial guy is over a hour away. Police tell me if I can't move within. Hour they will tow it. Call bd and cop advises move it ahead .25 miles to safer location ended up being .5 and moved to safer location but ruining the rim in process.. so from 1700 to 2100 I wait to get tire fixed and now can't get a door early which will be 1600 today. This trailer has been a nemesis since picking it up I swear this trailer is going to shop or to scrap yard. Never had so many issues in two weeks all while hooked to this trailer.
