    Bummer! Be sure to wiggle your trolly brake lever. Mine was just a bit out of wack and it caused my brake lights to stay on. But if it's just your trailer doing it then there may be a short.

    There was a short back in the ABS cable, that took all day to fix.
    So I wake up with 25 available hours and get a 360 mile load.
    I should have stayed home.
    At least I kept the pigtail connector and got a bunch of 20 amp circuit breakers. :)

    I put the truck in the shop for an A service and minor stuff, got a new windshield as this one had a major leak and a questionable sized chip. Yeah!!
    He asked me if I wanted him to fix all the oil leaks as the truck was so old I wouldn't have it much longer, Sure thing, let's fix it right for the next owner. I got a free night in a hotel, and I still ain't told my terminal I'm down or want breakdown pay. I'm sure I'll be Employee of The Year again this year,

    Another night in the hotel, they are totally rebuilding that truck for me, tomorrow I get a new fuel rail, I dunno, but I bet she'll run 62.2 after that. New brakes on the drives, new front drive tires,
    Last night I tipped the dedicated cab driver that takes all of us to the hotel 2 bucks, he was nice and pointed out the tavern.
    Today, I wasn't going to tip him, but, from the cab to the hotel door, I found a folded up 10 dollar bill on the ground. I just felt I had to give it to him. I'm the best.
    I should have put in for breakdown pay, but they have my phone number too.

    Sshhhh, there was a driver there that wanted to buy a used truck and I told him mine would be the one to get. They're really overdoing it on mine,

    I'm at Columbus

    I may have seen you there, out front at the table waiting for the cab. I came and sat by 2 guys talking, until my Sandwich showed up...
