Where is everyone #5

Kinda what I'm thinking... praying I don't have a bent connecting rod .

 

Was about 18 miles from home.

Rolling 64 west at 65mph, like a flip of a switch got a vibration/ miss from the engine. Looked in the mirror and couldn't see nothing behind me for the smoke.
Got it off the side and let it idle while I checked for fluids on the ground,.. all dry. Turned it off, looked the engine over, hit the switch and it rolled a turn and stoped, hit it again and she fired off. Running decent after a few but still a miss. Turned it off while I waited on Jim to bring my 5th wheel wrecker. Tadd brought a spare truck to me so I could finish the loads. Tried to start it to go on to the exit 1/2 mile away, never did roll over good enough to fire off again..., called the hook.

 

Doing my best.... got the tube off and seen all the oil, explains all the smoke.... but smoke almost cleared up last time it ran. Originally thought maybe I lost a injector tip.

 

Never say never.... . Had to drive a Volvo to finish my 2 loads.
But for $1000 a load on 58 miles each round.... I drove that Volvo just fine lol.

Y'all stay safe and keep your brakes cool.... I'll try to be back out there quick as I can.

 

In and out at the delivery today in 2 hours flat. Shortest unload I've had there in the past was maybe 2.5 hours, and that might have been a lighter load. Average is 3-3.5.

This was 25.5 MT in around 1 hour and 40 minutes. Either this blower works really well or I've finally figured this art out.

That’s no good

Hydrolock is never pretty to hear about. Praying you don’t have a bent connecting rod...

Keep us updated!

 

Anyone have any experience with ATS? I know there are a few threads on here about them but in my short time on here I've come to trust y'all's opinion more than other folks I don't know anything about. I want to get my feet wet again pulling flatbed and maybe get back to some oversize. Valley is another I've been chatting with...

 

You running a HT-60?

 

I fueled at the Love's this morning and the normal cashier was filling the coffee pots. So, this black girl that worked at the restaurant inside the Love's rang me up.

She was young and slim, and had a blonde weave in. I started looking at her close and she was actually a he I believe. Big hands, somewhat manly facial features behind the makeup and fake eyelashes. Hey, if that's what you're into, that's on you. But don't call me or any other male customer" baby" when you hand me my receipt.

I'm sounding like a millenial being offended I guess.

 

Yes. Actually a complete air to air from a N14.
