    Ain't that the truth. Just spent 110 for truck and trailer wash. Then again, the guy comes to me and does the best job I've ever had done. Monday the truck goes in for oil leaks. Diamond seal, oil cooler and pan, and maybe back of block involving pulling tranny. Pulling the pan could lead to rods and mains too!!!! I dread Monday! Oh yeah air compressor and dryer too. I'm upgrading from a tuflow 550 to 750 in case I get a lift axle next year

    Left Halifax heading back to Montreal tri axel with only 28k in it, looks like a big difference in fuel mileage just having a tri axel, return load is 63000lbs of silica? That's gonna hurt fuel mileage. ;-(
