    Well, the tech that is working on my truck is the one who took me to the hotel. He said that this truck has him baffled. The things that the code says are bad test good, so now he has to go thru everything related to the DEF system. He says he's been working on PACCAR motors since they came out, and this one has him scratching his head...

    Since the company is paying for your hotel, are they also paying you a wage? If not, it should go into the bad company thread. Because that would be an unacceptable way to treat an employee!

    I am making my guaranteed daily pay rate, which isn't as much as if I were driving, but a lot more than a lot of companies pay for breakdown pay

    Saw this the other day, and not sure what good a trailer heater would do in a covered wagon.

    The side kits are insulated with 3" of foam.
    They haul big rollers for paper making machines.
    I guess the rubber coating on the rollers is touchy.

    Maybe you should get a job that has nothing to do with internal combustion engines...!!

    That's about it exactly. Of course this was about 15 years ago & she said something about me needing to be there in case another driver came by to swap me to another truck. It never happened & I was stuck there several more days. I went to the Denver botanic gardens & it was amazing:
