    I am at.......Yep, Grand Forks!
    Took the truck into Detroit last night for a PM. Went to pull out and had low fuel pressure on the Datastar!

    They called their S60 guru in last night, and he changed the doser block. It raised the pressure, but still wasn't right.
    So today it got a new regulator, check valve, fuel pump, and after all that, it threw a code for a stuck EGR valve, so it got one of those too!
    $289 for my PM later, I was out of there. I LOVE WARRANTY!!

    I think most of my deals have been due to the truck sitting Ron. I doubt you have much to worry about mate.
    If we got weather pay, I'd be a rich man indeed, so no we don't, unless the hold up is on loading or unloading end. While we are loaded, no go.

    That bites!

    If it makes you feel better it has been pretty slim pickings down here in Texas. Lots of $2 mile heavy permit included freight.

    Just happy to have a heavier load to see how the truck runs. I will say that on the low end the truck pulls pretty well, so getting rolling doesn't seem like it will be an issue

    Made it to the worlds largest building in Everett, WA where they assemble aeroplanes today with my 12' wide load of cowlings. Dropped them and hit the yard now I'm hook to a trailer with a top, these weird door thingies on the back and canvas sides with a load of ground support equipment for the 787 going to Kelly AFB in San Antonio, TX. I guess I won't complain, I have 6 empty oxygen cylinders so it has to be placarded and we supposedly get paid extra for that. 24 years with my Class A/CDL with Hazmat and my very first time with a placarded load.

    I'm having trouble figuring out how to work these door thingies on the back of the trailer though, anyone know what they're used for??

    These two guys I'm running with must ##### when they get head. I've never heard so much pissing and moaning. It's gotten so bad I finally had to turn my radio off.

    Does that mean I can unhook from it, get tanked up and back into your new rock guards? I mean if I'm going to join the door swinger fraternity isn't that required training??
