    #### shame.
    That sucks.
    You would think by now these problems would be ironed out.

    Let me clarify this a little more.
    I'm getting dirty looks from dispatchers who wonder if I will deliver on time ..and I dont blame them as this is a service business.
    I'm happy here and plan to stay here but I need to be dependable and profitable..
    Love the ole girl but it's time to cut the nut in my opinion.

    Is California keeping you from considering a def delete?

    Yeah California and New York will be off the table if I do .
    And there are pitfalls to a delete also like ...dealer shops wont touch them and wont take them on trade ...and it's illegal.
    Epa is going after these shops doing deletes with guns blazing and it's just a matter of time until they get around to the owners .
    Morehouse has an owner OP that did a delete and I heard they were not happy about it .

    Spent the day looking at current truck pricing and my freightliner might bring a little more than I initially thought givin its condition.
    Given the added storage and amenities of the 680 along with better fuel mileage and an automatic trans I think the freightliner might be going bye bye if the numbers work on a trade .

    Greatest thing that ever happened, for truck dealerships. Just look around at the multi million dollar facilities they are building.

    Every time I go into my local dealership for parts, the manager tries to sell me one of those POS. I just smile and say I think I will keep ole Betsy, I need something I can depend on to get the freight delivered.

    He will laugh and say his year end bonus checks have doubled since DPF came out.

    No doubt ! All the truck dealers and engine dealers in Omaha that had been in central Omaha for decades have closed up and built castles out west .
    Some like cummins really needed to .
    Thermo king on 77th and f st the only shop left in central Omaha.
