    3 weeks with no mattress? I wouldn't have slept in the truck one day without one. Wow! I wonder how bad the previous one was if they had to remove it LOL

    I was on a dedicated account out of cedar falls,ia and the main service place was clear over in Gary,in. I hated going there. So I had to wait for them to route me clear over to Gary before I could get a mattress. Hell I ran the truck for like 2 months with one headlight because the maintenance guys said I only needed one headlight. I got tired of fighting with them over it. When it finally got in they had to replace both headlight harnesses plus all the bulbs for the front running light and headlights because they all had the wrong bulbs in so it melted all the plastic housings and harnesses. Shortly there after I told them wanted a new truck. Couple weeks later I got a brand new glider conversion with 47 miles on it.

    Not in bulk, unless you have a secure place and that would have to be approved.

    Just curious what you would have told The DOT man had you been inspected? "Well Mr DOT, our mechanics told me......."


    I had an incident early on in my driving, that the right light housing got destroyed( yeah I said incident!!) City Cop knew enough about regs to tell me I could drive during daytime only to get it fixed 100 miles away at Carlisle. Just that I had to have the corner turn signal operational. SEM called roadservice to jerryrig the signal by drilling a couple holes and zip-tieing it to truck.

    Well looks like I start class on Monday so hopefully in about 3-4 weeks I will be out in Houston Texas and if by some miracle I get ethos as my trainer then it will be fun to learn from the master.

    Yeah I hope I get him too if I can ever make it down there :( Waiting to see how badly I got screwed on my taxes and how I will have to pay from cashing out my 401k from being unemployed for so long. I didn't want to move and then get have to come up with a few grand on top of moving 2000 miles
