    Back in Omaha. Truck not ready. Kinda pissed...and I'm heading to Newark Monday. So I'm dealing with some issues today. Going out for a steak and I'm sleeping half the day tomorrow.

    More later...

    Ok, while it may not be the place to go......
    The fact that you have had a number of issues with getting into a truck arrangement, purchase and lease, may be an indication that the universe says not now.

    Well, the problem is a couple O/O's blew engines and one moron put a truck on its side in Washington state. That's using up all the shop space, but it's still really frustrating when all that really needs doing is a fluid/filter swap and battery replacement. What's that going to take, 2 hours tops?
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    Can you take it elsewhere and do it yourself?

    Well, i probably could...if I was here more. I was supposed to leave tomorrow for Jersey, but weather is moving in so they're trying to get me moving today. I spent all day yesterday asleep. Turned off the phone and tablet and just slept. That little flu bug really leaves you drained out and i just passed out and didn't wake up in time to corner a mechanic.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.

    That ###### flu has gone through our whole family and it zaps your energy for awhile. Hopefully you are feeling better today!

    It would drive me nuts every mile in their truck when mine was sitting. I know it's getting to you as well.

    Good luck with your venture!
     
    SAR, 4mer trucker, Vic Firth and 2 others Thank this.
