    We've got 4 of the kw's down all about the same mileage all flooding DEF into the doser and plugging the filter and they can't figure out why.

    I've been on sunday to friday about a month now. Things finally picking up a bit

    I see your trucks out here on I-10 between Phx. & LA regularly and was thinking of heading over to the Ashley DC in West Phx. to see if they had a need for furniture going into LA.

    Question is, are you guys del DC to DC or DC to stores or manufacturer to DC?
    do you use any O/O?

    I googled Ashley DC in LA area and came up empty. That's why I asked if you guys go from DC to store.
    I'm always packed going East, but always have room going West.

    I've been scrounging to get 28-2900 last 2 months but I've also been stuck in Leesport 3 of the last 7 weeks

    Don't know what they're planning on equipment but Larry was talking good things about the kw's in July at our meeting. Said they were killing the volvo's on fuel mileage. I've been averaging right at or a little over 8mpg even heavy. That beats my old Volvo by about 1/2 mpg.
