    Well just went through my first level 1 only thing he SAID he found was an air leak on the level adjustment on the trailer but sprayed soapy water everywhere and couldn't find a leak how can they write you up if all they do is hear air it could have been the airbags coming down but off to ta to get it checked anyway lost out on that $100.00 I hate Washington lol was here 2 weeks ago and blew a turbo and stayed in hotel for 4 days waiting on Bally freightliner to get it fixed

    The rule is no "audible" air leaks. Using soapy water is above and beyond what the regulations require.

    Sounds like he was trying to do you a favor by locating it, possibly fixing it on-site.

    while sleeping I've never been around someone who smokes. I do play a lot of poker and some of the rooms I've played in since having the machine allow smoking and I haven't noticed a problem sleeping after that. Hope that helps.

    The point I was trying to make is the cpap machine is not an oxygen device, it doesn't increas the % of oxygen in the air going into your lungs. It simply keeps your air way open and so you don't keep waking and get a restful sleep.

    Ive seen a few of the cute trucks on the flatbed side. Only know one guy personally who got one, and thats cause he screwed up badly. He had a very large claim and had his fullsize taken away from him.

    Taken away? Doh! Hope it was for more than rubbin' a tire... that's gotta be hard, losing the condo. But... a nickel more a mile, that can add up! I've lived in small spaces, but never worked there too, lol. $500 a month would at least pay for your food. Let's hear from some folks driving those cute trucks? I wanna know more about them. But yeah, rather have the big boy.

    O ya!!! It was far more than rubbing a tire... It was a big claim on a product claim for one of our BIG customers. Still dont know how he screwed that load up... Ive done the same load in far worse areas than he went without an issue. Ive spoken to him at the yard.

    Sherlock on the case.

    Bigger than a tire rub. Check

    big claim... Big customer. Check.

    talked to THE guy at the yard. Check.

    STILL don't know how he screwed up that load. Huh?

    Way to go there. Guess you Flatheads will never know how to prevent that from happening again.
