    Ok, turns out the grand island location is the one and only that is still owned by them .

    Arrived at Colorado state university Monday, but they wouldn't unload until Tuesday afternoon mountain time. They just finished. Now I'm going to nap and pick up food that goes back to GR. I'm hoping I can get ahead of the storm tomorrow

    I made it to Nebraska before deciding to park early and let this storm do its thing.

    Another coolant leak. This time it's through the bunk heater core. That's a Freightliner fix, but for now, I just bypass the core and suffer with no heat until I can get it fixed.

    I'm hearing rumors that things are being shaken up big time here. I guess GM is managing the warehouse and the old manager was escorted out by police. Not sure why.

    Shockingly, my truck was repaired of the bunk heater, and power steering leak. Of course they skipped the jake brake repair and exhaust leaking into the front vents, as they said "we have a lot of trucks to get to"
    I'll get it done in Atlanta next time I do a 34.
    Walker techs are kind of lazy and disgruntled

    The exhaust coming in the vents would make me want to tell the mechanics where to go and how to get there if they told me that. I just don't think they should be able to be able to ignore that since it is a safety issue

    I would put it out of service myself. It's no good spewing poisoned gases into the cab.

    I should clarify, the exhaust through vents in the cab only happen when idle. So if I keep that blower off and just use the bunk when I sleep I'm fine.
    When I go down the road there is no smell. So I can have defrost on full and survive fine.
    Thanks for the concern though. I'm not so dedicated to these loads that I'd drive with it poisoning me.

    Some lady ruined both our days when she swerved to pass me and as I was slowing for the traffic backup, swerved back into the right lane, problem was, I already slowed down so that space was occupied. And since to bodies of mass cannot occupy the same space, she hit my tire and rolled her vehicle. She will be fine. But our time will not be recovered. What a start to the week
