    The air dryer froze up on our other truck in Wisconsin today. Broke the purge valve. Driver had to crawl underneath and bypass it; he's headed for the T/A now to see what needs to be done.

    Rates out of Denver are always low Windsmith. I was wondering when you'd be posting about it - good luck in findin' somethin' up to your standards!

    Had a guy pull up to the shop with that same problem.


    all the shops were packed today, but I know of a shop that is family ran and is priced really well. Got rite in and fixed me up, not much of a wait.

    Hah, I knew I'd have a challenge coming in.

    Settled in, got my 34. The boss got me to cave on a rate. Just got a rate confirmation from western KS to NJ - $1.84 / loaded mile, $1.62 all miles. $3100 to the truck on 1919 GPS route miles. Could have sworn he told me it paid more than that on the phone. :/ But it's in line with average rates out of here, and the deadhead up front means I'm not running loaded (read: burning more fuel) the entire trip.

    Anyhow, gets me back in time to grab another decent paying mail load to Chicago or Detroit on Saturday.

    Saw some decent SLC -> OR and WA rates today, but nothing worth running empty to grab.

    Must have the luck, just changing over to boxes myself so it will take a bit of time to find a honey hole. So far my first three pay great.
