    That's one I do know, at least. Prior to being an army infantryman, I was a heavy equipment mechanic in the Guard. Fuel systems was a big class for us, because of how much havoc dirty or watered down fuel can cause. Good lookin out.

    Time to rock n roll.
    Time for one last check. chains, binders, all the load equipment. How about oils, coolant, fuel anti gel, a few bottles of windshield wash. How about some paper towels or wipes and spray cleaner. zip ties, duct tape
    rain gear and some cold weather clothes. Got muck boots
    the list goes on.

    That's one part of trucking I can't get used to. Be up in Canada or northern USA in winter time then get dispatched to the south. Shorts weather in Texas and Carharts, gloves and a toque up north.

    It has all been checked and rechecked. Despite that I'm quite certain that there's going to be something I've forgotten. Nice to have all brand new tarps and securement gear. @cnsper has really gone out of the way to make sure I'm well supplied. Setting in town with him now, drinking coffee and letting it warm up a bit before going to change a wheel seal and drop and replace oil and filter. We are getting close...just need those drive tires tomorrow and we'll be good to go.
