    You guys referring to the quala in south jersey pedricktown off 130? That's home sweet home for me (well work is there I'm across the river for now.) Parking at it is fun but whats worse IMO is the freaking dirt well quicksand lot. It's really getting bumpy now... word for the wise if this is where you are referring to watch dropping trailers and I'd get out and look when you goto go under...Seen 4 dropped trailers lately from either holes or bad hooks rumor has it the quala is working on doing something about it but I will believe it when I see it...


    30's fun in a personal car let alone a rig lol.... used to have a beater metro pos car took that once and actually got PASSED by some rigs talk about embarrassing, then the poor car gave up near scraton pa on "back mountain" coming home from the farm once finally only had 300k miles on it.

    Gotta be careful with 30 also by breezewood it's locked out for trucks I believe anyway and rightfully so some of the turns are crazy along with crazy steep climbs while not super long they still are fun.


    As for me running the same load all week to Behr flooring, acronal edge 577 easy load other then dealing with the Pocono and north jersey hills, now this morning my truck decided to start acting up again thinking my fuel filter is clogging up even though it's not quite full it's got 8,239 miles on it currently but idk I'm starting to lose power but haven't derated yet. Get to make the decision in a bit to see what to do call it in and try to get it swapped out or just try and make my run getting it looked at very well might be the difference between sleeping in my own bed or not tonight. Stayed out last night but my plug in inverter was giving me crap for my CPAP machine. Sure wish I could get one wired in for days like this when I do stay out (really don't much but this is why ###### and TBH I'd like to more to me it's less stressful.)

    OK, I exagerrated. It was more like 1936 when they redesigned it.

    Don't tell anyone, but dry bulk tanks have no surge. :rolleyes:

    I've always said if it pays enough, I'll haul it. This is one of those times.

    Lol... No. Doing a special run from IN to AL. It's a dry bulk tank, but I only have to drop the loaded one and bring back an MT. I wouldn't know the first thing about unloading these.

    I thought so too - until the first time I hit the brakes after loading fly ash at the power plant in Tatum, TX.

    But once the load was level, it didn't surge anymore.
