Man...I am on a Wells load for walmart in VA...and its Going to be LATE......cause I felt like a bag of ### for the last few days....everyone at home has the flu and somehow I got it last night....I HAD to stop early last night cause I couldn't drive a minute more cause I was so #### sick.....now tonight I made it east of louisville....but I need to be in VA by 1600 and I am not going to make it...if I do it will be a bloody miracle......

 

Well I'm home for my 34hr restart. I'll call Josh Monday Morning to get my next load. I dropped at Sysco in Front Royal last night (this morning), and came on home.

@mushroom1464: Thanks for the welcoming, so far I am pretty happy with everything.

@Saienga: Thanks for that advice. I was walking around wondering the entire time "how in the heck am I supposed to fill the DEF when I get to the fuel island". I thought about going through the pumps backwards, but then I thought about it, and decided against it. It made no sense as to why they put it on the opposite side of the truck, but it's all good. I saw your truck 757 in the shop at Sheldon when I was there. It's a Pete right? My KW seems to be OK, just seems to have weak pulling power sometimes.

On another note, I'm not sure where the heck I will be going Monday, hopefully I wont be going anywhere to crazy or difficult. Luckily my first two loads were easy. I picked up at Iowa Pork in Hospers I believe, and took that to Carpentersville, IL, then dead headed to East Dubuque, IL and dropped in Front Royal, VA. We will see what next week brings Everyone have a great weekend, and be safe out there. If you see Trk#756, feel free to stop by and say hello. Be nice to meet some of you in person.

 

sick...at walmart DC in gordonsville....have to get back to waynesboro for next load after I unload here...uggggggg.....have 2 stopper waiting for me in waynesboro....

 

Naw, 757 is a KW. I think you might have seen 737, I think that's Fuzzy's Pete. But I could be totally wrong.

EDIT: On the pulling power thing-- some slick agent got Dave (AKA The Boss) to buy a bunch of the KWs with 3.42 rear ends. You and I have those. That could be part of it. Otherwise, next time you're in Sheldon, ask somebody to look up when the truck is due for an overhead. If it hasn't had one recently (it's either due or overdue) that would explain a lot of it, too.

 

Hmm...I am going to have to see if I can get some service done on my truck. The check Engine light came on, and it vibrates pretty bad under accelerating with a load. And while sitting it just shakes a bit, especially when I'm at a shipper or receiver or even at a stop light. Maybe that could be something too. It only has 290K on it. So I will probably have it for awhile. I like the truck, just needs some quirks worked out I think.

 

Sounds like you might have some bad injectors. Might want to get those checked out right away...

 

Yes it was. I was going to give a shout out, but those guys jabbering on kind of prevented it.

 

I will let them know. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Haha yeah that was NightTrain & I causing up a storm on 19, usually we talk on Ch. 1 but i can't remember why we flipped down to 19 lol....

I was the first truck, btw that's a sharp little mack!!

 

LOL...so that was you guys!!! Thanks for the flowers re the Mack. It's a pretty cool truck for a daycab.
