    Maybe they were on an airplane on final approach to T-bone International and saw something on the interstate and broke the rules to report it on their Waze app

    Well I got my frozen trailer back to Wichita after the load in SD fell through. It worked out thought because about twenty minutes after I left the yard heading for the house a local round trip oversize came up. Ran that on Saturday and now I’m in texas heading for Canada on Tuesday with wings. One more trip then I’m going home for the rest of the year.

    we are absolutely slammed busy in January and it’s only mid December. I have my eye on two pretty fun loads. Two 17’ tall coolers back to AB and one power only move. I might not be able to post anything about that load, have to get approval once I pick it up. Hopefully they don’t go at the same time.

    Got all 3 stops kicked off by noon today. Not sure what they're gonna do with me in Memphis with hometime set for next Monday. New problem is developing with my Sweedish Dog, it's drinking coolant. I had them check for leaks while they were doing the service last week, but all they saw was a little small one on the hose for the APU. They topped off my reservoir before I left Arlington last Friday, this morning when I was doing my PTI I noticed that it was below MIN already, so I added a gallon. So either I have an EGR cooler leaking or aliens beamed some out while I slept.

    Our Mack's were doing that. If it's the same issue, coolant is bleeding into the oil via the DEF cooling system. It's a mother to diagnose and fix.

    Coolant mixing with oil is precisely the thing you always want to have happen

    Not the news I enjoy hearing. I was getting an amber MIL and a DEF malfunction code a number of months ago, but it cleared itself and never came back, I just don't have chocolate milk in the crankcase, yet.
