    Delivered three days early to Holdrege NE and picked up a load going back to Four Oaks NC but stopping at Fremont for the weekend. Gotta do my medical card Monday, and get some engine maintenance done too. No short hops available, so got a room for the weekend and bobtailed the tractor to the hotel. Since the wife is with me, it was just the thing to do. Convalescing not a bad thing since I am still sore from the accident. Nice Mexican restaurant within walking distance and at least, I can still walk! And eat! And watch TV! Oh, yeah, FCC is picking up the hotel tab.

    Delivered in Olathe, Kansas this morning at 0100 (Aldi DC) bounced down to Lawrence and dropped and hooked and brought that up to a customer in Fremont. Came over to our shop for an overdue service, and I have an EGR engine code taken care of. I will leave out in the morning to parts unknown, I should get a dispatch shortly.

    I also had the pleasure of seeing @gntorres61 and his better half at the yard in Fremont. It’s always good to run into friends while at the yard.

    Sounds the like you might be going through what I did last year, the dealers just kept throwing parts at the 1box, until when it was all said done I basically had a rebuilt 1 box. Hopefully they get it figured out sooner than later.
