    Down in Mt. Airy NC Flying J finishing my ten. Minnesnowda was mild but it did get down to -6 in central Wisconsin driving through. Dropping this load of 67 refrigerators in Statesville shortly, then pickup a Certainteed load near the yard in Claremont going to Elizabeth City some 325 miles cross state then an hour west to the house. 2800 miles this week, 2500 last week. Maybe the worst of the winter is over. Somehow gotta make it up to Jungho for splitting on Valentines Day. Glad they caught the punks near Ochelata. That was my first backhaul from FLA with TransAm from the Coke plant in Auburndale. Ah, the memories!

    Broke down again! DEF system again! Birmingham 6 weeks ago. Winter has been brutal. Fourth time in six weeks. One of those weeks was on vacation. Last week to Minnesota was the only break down free week since the second week of January. Still 4 weeks until spring. I am thinking these breakdowns are winter related. Was headed back from Syracuse and am in Front Royal VA at the truckers rest area on I 66. Headed to Garysburg NC Lowes and was preplanned back to Baldwinsville NY from Wilson NC. Guess we'll see. The thing is I am not getting the light prompting me to run a regen and it won't let me run one. Shiznet!! Waiting on a wrecker, AGAIN!!

    I think that manual regen switch should be re-labeled as "false hope" anyway. Hope it works out for you and they get you rolling soon George.

    Don't worry George, I'm right there with you, getting put on the hook now. Lost a fan belt but, because I'm on NJTP, I have to get towed off to get fixed. Nope.... doesn't even matter, that
