    In Sacramento, putting my prostar in the shop -- regen smoke-screen getting worse. It did it right by a scalehouse on the way down from Portland, but thankfully they were closed. Still, that was the last straw (dirty looks from passing motorists are also getting old).

    I had really hoped to get a couple good pay weeks under my belt before committing to almost certain extended downtime, but c'est la vie.

    well they dont got any eta on the truck.. check out is at 11 what to do...
    ive told con-way before these tag axles are unsafe. i was told there is no prof that what i say is right. im a nice guy so i didnt mouth off to them. I wanted to tell em come drive with me for a week in some snow and we will see how safe. when i drive a truck that had duels & twin screw. I didnt really every shut down. i shut down 1 time cuz road was closed but i would be out there drivin in 5inchs of snow.

    Got to flagstaff last year they where getting Nailed trucks stuck on hill/jack knife. I had no problems i even stoped on mid hill cuz traffic did and still have no problem getting started. This year with these trucks its the MOST i have ever shut down cuz of snow.

    I don't see how going on 5-6 days in shop is cool just somthing over the dam DPF system. i lost track on how many days. The pay sucks:( last 2-3 weeks have been bad here for me so idk whats going on...

    Freight seems to have been pretty slow this winter, but I'm hopeful that it will pick up in spring as weather improves and irs refund checks spur consumer spending...

    The Sacramento International dealer seems to think my truck will be done today -- I'd be pleasantly surprised.

    Speaking of IRS, guess I'll get started on my taxes...
