    Back to that dark place. So your going to buy this truck, are the items you list part of the purchase deal prior to you taking the truck, or are they items you wanted done and not part of the purchae deal. It questions the priorities of all parties in the transaction.

    Oh yes, this was all included in the deal. The problem is I'm stuck behind a couple current O/Os. From one point of view I understand, they're already making payments and I'm not. We have limited shop space here and 2 blown and one on it's side pretty much uses that space up, and they have modified my compensation package to ease the string, but were I to say it didn't bother me would not be anywhere near truthful.

    So at this point and time, you have not signed the paperwork and taken possession of the truck. Thats what I am reading.

    If I understand, you did have some work done on the truck prior, some type or form of body / paint items. Any other work?

    Please remind me, this truck was an LP truck. The current operator traded in that one on a newer truck or ?.

    Well, I'm not going anywhere today. Sleet started around 0400 and changed overvto snow pretty quick. Put a quick couple inches down and after looking over conditions between here and Columbus, and talking to a friend parked at Bosselmans in Grand Island, I decided it was a chance not worth taking. Dispatch aint happy, but he'll just have to get over it. Slick roads, high winds, heavy snow and a light load after pulling an empty just doesn't seem like a smart move.

    More later...
