    Cool to see you guys moving, I got as far as Rawlins, when I lost the transmission I think, Looks like a transmission oil cooler line broke, dumped the oil, transmission not happy. Sounds like a box of rocks now. Had to be towed in, don't think I'm gonna make my unload Mon. Be Safe

    hey bb8at at least it is not JAN!! I hate to break down under a load...it just sucks for some reason.

    We are gonna unload in Southern OH and go get Patches then. We are picking up the load in Crystal Springs MS. We are in Mt Vernon IL tonight...we dont have a KY unladen permit yet. So hopefully by the time we get to the state line in the morn it will be in.

    Bo has been working on the trailer making sure EVERYTHING is ready for this safety week coming up. Remember it is June 4-6 this year. They are focusing on LOAD SECUREMENT so heads up you guys/gals!
     
    Big Ole Bear Thanks this.

    Hey, yeah really sucks just sitting here knowing I had planned on being at my unload spot today waiting for morning. Had to put all my pilot cars on hold and wait for Mon to see what the shop comes up with then see what our people say. Hope they don't try to repower me, not sure how that works, but really don't think any spare trucks are near me. Where in So. Oh are you going, the wife was born in Logan and still has family there. Be Safe

    We are going to Ironton OH not far outside of Huntington WV right on the KY river. We will be 15' 7" high.....gonna be an interesting trip....

    Combined has been known to repower but they dont make a habit of it. At least not that I know of.

    Hey, I looked it up and you guys are going to be SW of the Athens/Logan area, that's cool. They got the tranny out and yep junk, all because of a broken oil line. Looks like I'm staying put till it's fixed. Just waiting on Freightliner and parts so shouldn't be that long, I hope lol. Hope you have fun. Be safe
