    Sure is fun dealing with SNI sometimes. So many people I have to work with and try to coordinate stuff with and then I don't hear from someone and that causes a chain reaction of stuff not getting done... LOL. I won't get worked up over it. Been there done that don't like that crap phase me anymore. Got insurance transferred to the new truck, but from reading the fine print it doesn't apply until I have signed the lease agreement which is supposed to be emailed/faxed or something. It mentions 24 hour temporary insurance (I'm assuming to take the truck to Charlotte to get it inspected) upon a verbal agreement to sign the lease agreement (INCEPTION!?!), but what happens if I go down there, the shop finds something wrong, and I need to go drive it the next day to get it fixed? Then I don't have insurance?? Awaiting a response from the office at Charlotte... Hope everyone has been doing well and is looking forward to some time off for the holidays.

    when I took a leave of absence, I had to return QC in Charlotte. They gave me 24 hr insurance to get truck back home. I think they would do the same, if you had to take truck somewhere else the next day.

    Finally got my shop appointment scheduled at Charlotte. I'll drive down there super early Tuesday morning and be there for a 5am appointment. I've been on my usual night owl schedule so that should work out fine anyway.

    Hope it doesn't have that air-ride front axle.
    They can be a nightmare on steers.

    Just saying..

    Yeah its air-ride all the way-around. Will that cause my steers to wear faster?

    Make sure they have it aligned correctly.
    I read about the 780's have problems with this set up.
    Also talked to a IC in Mass on Monday..he said he was on his 3rd set of steers in 12 months.
    Do some research and see what you come up with.
    I'm not trying to scare you off..just trying to inform you of a possible problem.
     
    EggoTrucker Thanks this.
