    I got loaded pretty quickly when I was there, and I was late, to boot.

    So much for hustling. Got to Walley world in Temple and no empty trailer for me.

    as of right now...B service at only a Crete shop...no T/A , Petro or Speedco....I hope this a short term thing.....there is no way Crete shops can handle doing B service ...on over 5,000 trucks

    it's probably because the outside shops were screwing things up too often. When I was there with my Maxxfarce, finding a T/A that stocked the proper filters was a challenge. The one thing Crete does that helps is they have the extended range filters...or at least use to. 40,000 miles between oil changes meant I only had my oil changed 3 times a year on a good year.

    Delivered in Cheyenne, and knew what was coming...beer from my favorite place on Earth....AB, Ft. Collins. Picks up tomorrow, delivers in Lincoln Monday morning.

    And I have officially begun my quest to land a job closer to home. With my MIL not doing all that well, the strain on my wife is peaking. However, the job needs to pay at least what I'm making here. I've got pre-apps in at two tanker companies. We'll see what happens.....

    You might want to check the delivery date on that load again. I'd be shocked if you could deliver a beer load on Memorial Day.
