    Looks like I'll finally be getting out of 704, finally had it with this thing, plus it's been 8 months and I'm still smelling nicotine and cleaning cigar smoke stains, the last straw was the cab HVAC going, plus I have no defroster thanks to the blower(second one!)going out, not to mention being sent through a snow storm without a way to melt the #### off the windshield. I told Tim and Cory I would prefer a Volvo but if they give me a newer kw that's in better shape (meaning I don't have to clean up any nasty #### out of it) that'll be cool.

    Some Pipe was busted that runs to the DPF, Truck down for the day, so I had to switch into somebody else truck who was broke down at Truck Enterprises in Richmond and I'm getting sick as $h!? With the truck smelling like Paul Mall Cigs.. One of the main reasons I didn't want to drive someone elses truck but here at Van Wyk its by any means necessary to get that load delivered.... Just hate driving other people's truck especially when all there stuff is in it and your truck is going to be ready tomorrow ..
