    One was too big. The other cracked before it could be patched and the last was a big enough stone to almost shatter the glass and send shards inside

    Wow Rocks freight shaker sounds like my last KW 680. This new one is doing fine so far, but I'm getting close to the 40,000 mark where they do an overhead and check engine light likes to play peek a boo.

    Not a very productive day. 14 hr clock ate up a lot of time. Stopped at Iowa 80 to see if verizon guys could get my mifi deal to work. Couldn't do it so here I sit. Full on Taco Bell and patty J pictures. Time for lights out. Got a pre plan 4 load heading back to Denver so will see how that goes. May even get to play in some white stuff. We goneeeeee
     
    Rocks Thanks this.

    Thanks!

    As for me, I'm going to be parked right here at the house for the next 4 weeks. Doc says no big truck driving. The bumps in the road, physical aspects of dropping and hooking, crawling around the truck doing pre-trips, etc, will at the very least cause me some great pain, and could end up causing a re-injury. Evidently had I not gone back to the ER and tried to deal with the pain, I might have lost the kidney outright.
     
    FatDaddy, TruckDuo and Rocks Thank this.

    Spending my 10 at the scales on 39/90 east in Wisconsin... Heard on the CB there was an accident and big back up between me and the rest area I planed to stop at....so the scales were my second option.....Gotta get rolling at 430 to make it asap to my 1st drop. Gonna be a couple hrs late.... But a faulty ABS on the drop trailer I picked up delayed me. It was nice to hear dispatch admit the timeframe on this delivery was optimistic at best...
    the joy of reefers.....lol
