Abilene Motor Express....A New Place To Call Home

Exactly why we need to stop relying on other countries to manufacture all of our goods. Bring manufacturing back to this country

 

That gasket blowing at 6600 miles is right in line with what I've heard about the new Cascadias, and in line with my needing a new clutch at 600 miles, and the DEF line (from where you put the DEF nozzle in, to the tank) melting off at 1200 miles.

First of all, it's stupid to have a line into the tank instead of filling directly into the tank. Secondly, the hole the line goes into is midway up on the tank instead of at the top. So anytime I was downhill as I was limping to the yard, I could watch the DEF guage go down as I spilled more DEF.

Thirdly, what the actual ####, how is it possible to melt this line brand new.

 

Greed, plain and simple. And it doesn't help that politicians make it easier for them to justify it with added regulations and red tape.

 

Indeed. I’m still waiting on my seat to be delivered. And trust me, my neck/back/legs definitely feel the pain. I wonder what the powers that be would say if I tell them that I’m going to go out on workmans comp because of the health issues it’s causing me?

 

Yup… we need to learn from this little pandemic when we saw China putting our orders for PPE and Meds behind their own… or turning a whole ship around… not saying they did anything wrong but ya, if they want to squeeze us and we rely on them for simple meds, that could be serious. And yes, even just parts. We have folks here that need to be put to work too.

yes… as mentioned… Greed and Politicians.
(And Americans demanding lowest prices over jobs)

 

Yeah, what good did ten dollar Walmart sneakers get you if your self proprietor retail store got run out of business and that ten bucks is your hourly wage at Walmart

To say nothing of the supply chain issue in a world where everyone is reliant on the supply chain and nobody is running a self-sufficient family farm

 

We are looking at Yard Birds for Eggs… lol

 

Somebody took my bucket and reflective vest out of a loaner last week

Everything else seems to have been there boxed up in the detail bay

 

Would someone PM me the gate code to Volvo in Jacksonville? Pretty sure I’m going to be there after hours tonight. TY
