    Working, working and paying for repairs.........I had to have Cat change out the injector on #1 and they re-programmed my ECM (to my benefit...now I seem to be averaging about .5mpg more) and, just as I finish paying that off........my air suspension decided to act up lately.....blew an airbag and the shop put one on that was the wrong size.....and for some reason....the air leveling rod keeps pivoting backwards?!?!....dumping all the air out of my bags.......no one seems to know why.......

    The rod is straight and the leveling valve is new......jinx......I need a witch to cleanse that truck!!!!!!!

    And now, on a personal note, the Hurricane in Puerto Rico (where I'm from) and the earthquake in Mexico City (where my wife's from) have me with a house full of family!!!!....good that their all alive, but it's cost me some $$ and work time.....

    Lot's of Import, Export work lately, though.....and rates have been ticking up lately.....now if only dispatch can get their act together, we could really make a killing soon!!!!!

    so does this change the way you run going forward or all is going to be ok? eager to know. i'm thinkin elogs isnt going to be a bad thing, not at all. i'm actually kinda looking forward to trying it out. everyone i know that does rails at first, didnt want it but now are in love with it bceause it's basically..... doing it for you.
