    That sounds like a challenge. Ever try leaving both seats down and pee through the small seat? :D :D :D

    You might ask and see if they checked the hose from the DEF tank. When I had that KW T660 in December (the one with all the regen problems) the DEF hose had melted.

    Oof! Take care of that back.

    Aurora, CO - here on the day I requested for home time.

    Well, I got here for a live unload at 0200.
    It took nearly 45 minutes to begin the unloading, and then when it was finished I waited nearly 2 hours for the paperwork because it was unloaded by lumpers.
    I guess they had to count every single piece, and maybe take a lunch break as well.
    Several trucks came in after me, and yet left an hour before me. Don't get it.

    My 14 expired about 20 minutes before I got the paperwork, so I am sitting here at the customer for a 10 before I can drop off my mt at the terminal and actually start my home time.
    They better not expect today to be counted as a home time day!

    Well my day started out less than desirable, I woke up in WI outside of the twin cities to the nice and warm temp of 0 degrees. Went inside to the bathroom and it was nasty, there was blood in one of the men's room stalls (I don't even want to guess why) and it smelled terrible , but that's what I get for staying at a rest area. Got back to my truck and went to grab some snacks for the road out of my cooler and noticed it wasn't cold. Turns out it blew the fuse in the plug but I remembered my mentors Coleman cooler's plug melted so I had the foresight to buy a spare aftermarket plug so I figured now is as good a time as any to replace it since it might just melt later.

    Then I get to fight morning traffic in the twin cities which was unavoidable since I had a 0800 appt for a live unload unless I wanted to be super early and watch my 14hr clock tick down, but all in all it was just a bunch of minor inconviences and hopefully the rest of my day is all cake from here.

    Currently getting unloaded in Minneapolis and it has warmed up to a balmy 3 degrees. I still have one more stop on this load then I will be picking up a load in Plymouth, MN for a live unload on mon morn in Memphis.

    lol lepton never tried that with the toilet seat.

    Getting all my stuff packed to hit the road again shortly, have to drop my daughter off with her mother on the way and then drive down to the dc to get my truck, heading to Fresno then a load to Lathrop, the planner gave me an option of Salenas, Livermore or Latrhop so I said give me Lathrop and I can get my 90 day bit over with Saturday morning since Saturdays are slow and he can give me a little late load.

    Finally out of KW and back at the yard, and most of the loads, all heading over to the East Coast. Was offered a trade show load, then taken off me. PU at 2000 and del 0500 217 miles away. Almost had a nice one from Command, bt up to Woodbridge, IL and load going to Stockton. Due to the weather, decided not a good idea. The load was going to pay $3700 and they were afraid that the load might cancel by the time that I got there. It was command that decided not a good idea. Then another one that they hoped could pick in the morning going to Tempe, and could not load until Monday. Now play the hurry and wait game here in Memphis.

    Forgot, with all of the idling that they were doing trying to get the regen fixed, burned closed to 47 gals of fuel. Ouch, did that hurt.
