    See that's only if you didn't plan your trip well enough and didn't park, or just drive through it. Did I sound like a manager for a ELD company. Have to keep my practice up incase I ever need to make a job change.

    So story time. One snow night went to Heinz in Fremont to winch out a bobtail twice in parking lot! Not gonna name co. But MR. Urssela S. Express told me his dispatcher sent him in there to get a empty. I told him after he was hooked to sit, County and State pulled the plows and I'm only out here for serious situations, and idiots. He said " they told me to head west I could drive out of it" I said maybe like Cali. Anyhow a hour later Im on 5th street dragging his supper single butt up a hill with a empty. Now stay here till am. " but I have togo". About 3am OSP is on the phone, Tractor trailer in the ditch. Ok see you at light. No now it hit a house, no one trapped, respond normal. Guess who the f it was. Yep left rt6 over a 8 or 10 foot ditch, across the yard and hit this old nice farm house. How he cleared the ditch with no major damage, I can't answer. It was drivable. Winched him around and he drove it to the shop. Had a hell of a conversation over coffee with the young fellow in the shop. Dispatch was hundreds of miles away insisting him to drive still.

    I run the same turbo and manifold. It will be ok till you get a tune. Actually lag more on the bottom, fuel milage will stay about the same to small increase
    You get/or have a good tune. It will be night and day.

    Trying to stay fed here at the TA...

    Manager bought a single room at the motel across the street so the employees at this TA didn’t have to drive home....

    My buddy at TSH is shut down in Breezewood. Says it’s a total #### show as they closed the climb to the east.
