    Picked up load in Cleburne at the James Mansville get 20 mins down the road and get a message are you sure you have the right trl ?? The trl # you sent in is listed as being in NJ, can you check the VIN #. Yes I'm sure I have that trl that's what the paperwork says and it was the only trailer on the lot, I really wonder about people sometimes. Oh by the way just in case you dont know I-35W exit 24 Truckstop with Long Johns !! Now sitting at the Shell exit 304 taking our 30, as we pulled in another CFI went by us going towards the HEB DC (I think that's whats down there) he gets to the top of the hill and does an illegal U-Turn, he's lucky to didnt swing to far or down the hill he would have went. Headed to Laredo hoping for a good load, sitting at 2497 as of right now. Hell I'd be happy with 500 miles

    Ripon, CA then Fremont to Calgary. miles miles miles... March should be a killer month if I can keep this prostar humming. Now using 1 gallon of oil every 2,000 miles -- ten empty containers sitting in my sidebox waiting to refill at Joplin... Maxxforce? they ask. Yep... It's not a flaw, its a design feature -- oil & soot coated chains don't rust!



    Lesson of the day (unfortunately learned after stopping at 3 different truck stops):

    3157 bulbs (dual filament) can be used instead of 3156 bulbs (single). So no truck stops stock the 3156. You can even use 3057 (same as 3157 but slightly dimmer)
