Keeping your family in our thoughts and prayers @BigBob410. Hope all goes well with your daughter. Take care.

 

That's a chain. 113 of them in the 9 southeast state's. That one has a good rating according to Google Map reviews, average of 4.5 Star's out of 5 possible. 1,121 reviews. I've never eaten at one myself though.

 

Well, sometimes you have to use the brakes, but they would use the retarder on full as well. I believe that the consensus was that the brake use was causing the high axle temperatures. We had two 730Cs running the same as the C2s with no problems with axle temperatures, so one would think that the internal brakes were the difference. Their speed would reach 35 mph on the cycle, but no steep grade to cause overspeed.

Edit to add: We took two 730Cs and one 730C2 to another job. Shorter haul, no problem. But for a couple of days we were hauling long and light with a portion of it on a paved road......very little brake use if any. The C2 axle temps got warm on that one as well. Maybe there is more to it than just the brakes? No heating problems on the Cs.

 

Shoot, I must have missed something while producing W2s, W3, 940, 941, IFTA, quarterly overweight report, etc. My priorities are messed up!

HEY @wore out , it's IFTA time!

 

Top: Benchmade AFO 9000 (first generation) automatic. No safety, no pocket clip. Carried this since the mid 90's. It's now an out of production model.

Middle: Benchmade Barrage. Tanto blade. It has never cut anything. It has one purpose and one purpose only. I hope I never have to use it either.

Bottom: Cheap kobalt utility knife. Gets used for everything. All I gotta do is remember to change the dull blades.
I have at least 2, most of the time, all 3 on me.

 

@catalinaflyer

Anything I need to know before hand about bringing a load into Boeing in North Charleston?

“Don’t be late!” Or something of that nature?

 

You're a better man than I, I woulda ignored any and all HOS to get home, might have even broke the speed limit once or twice.
Whatever it is Bob I hope your daughter comes out of it OK! And props to your company.

 

She might have an age limit but I don’t

 

Every time you meet someone whom you like, you learn a little bit more about yourself. Fascinating, actually.

In ancient times, the older men of a city would sit at the gates of a city for the specific purpose of meeting travelers. They would invite them into their house and give them a place to stay.
From this time period, the phrase HOSPITALITY was born. It means, ‘a love of strangers.’ Hospitality is the very first step to greatness.
