    They got my truck finished at Freightliner in Texarkana. It had a wiring harness that shorted out near the ECM. In turn it shorted out the ECM as well. It cost 6K for the boss to get it fixed. I guess they had the bill total at 7k but he got them to knock a grand off. That dealer is terrible about up charging for parts. They wanted 4k to fix the trap and replace the tarp on the hopper bottom when I was pulling that for the guy outta Iowa. We got that job done for 2100.00 at Timpte in Princeton Illinois. That's a big difference in cost.

    It's always better to go to the local repair man if you can. I feel like the dealer is meant for the bigger companies. Those dealers will eat you alive. I'm back in Kansas going to Denver for Monday. How is it tying down loads in extreme heat? It was next level hot in Houston the other day.

    It calls for lots of fluids. I sweat like a hog awaiting the skewer rod at a hog roast.

    Yea the humidity has been awful. I completely soak a T-shirt by the time I'm done loading and unloading. The wife told me to wear my white cotton t-shirts after I get done working since they're cooler. I normally just put one on to load or unload, that way I don't tear up my nice button up shirts. I've ruined all my white T's in the process though.
