    -10.. with a feels like-21 with wind chill. ..it hurts to breathe walking from the truck to the door of the flying j.

    I am definitely not coming back for awhile. . Actually should have just gone home. . Freeze up here or if I had gone south and been caught in all the snow and ice. .

    Better dope those tanks up with Power Service and don't turn the truck off APU or not . The Risk of Gelling is big in those temps for sure

    Do you got a weather front for your truck ? I broke down and bought one for mine about 2 weeks ago myself . They come in handy . Of course so does card board

    I been enjoying your thread and your adventures at ACT kind of inspired me to maybe do a catalog of my events at my company as well . I've heard some good things about ACT and their LP Program from this forum .

    I think ink that a LP program is what you put in to it to be successful . so many expect to be profitable right out the gate but you have to develop a since of business to succeed and that's what separates success with turn over .

    Seems by your thread your gonna do just fine as you have the knowledge for success being the largest variable expense - hence Fuel Economy . So many never grasp the concept of it

    Thanks. . That's exactly what I am trying to do. . Relate my day to day experiences out here and show that with a little effort you can succeed in a L/P.

    The L/P has be fair to both the contractor and the company though. .I'll be honest, I found ACT because of BK original thread. . So he gets part of the blame/credit :)

    I added Howes fuel treatment to the tanks after arriving Saturday. .. I'm actively looking for a grill screen for a T660.. if anyone knows where I can find one feel free to holler.

    Even with the fuel additive I was nervous, so I idled the truck. . It's a brisk -20 (without wind chill) this morning.

    Call KW dealer give them last 6 of the VIN and they may have one in stock or could order and ship to you
