    I’ve signed up for Uber waiting on getting cleared. I will be using my F250 to uber people around this week. I tried looking for temp trucking work and that definitely doesn’t seem like an option for a week or two. If anyone thinks there’s a way to do trucking for a week temporary please let me know.

    I’m around, just don’t have anything to add. It’s a #### situation and we’ve all been there. Currently though, I have enough crap on my plate to be worried about what’s on yours. Lotsa luck. What doesn’t kill ya makes you stronger

    Didn’t know a mx13 would be capable of slipping a clutch lol
    In all honesty that’s plain pathetic

    I don’t believe I would’ve spec’d a 12 speed transmission knowing that the trucks would be running 106k gross. I would’ve stuck with a manual at least until the 18 speeds came out.
     
    Feedman, Diesel Dave and BoostedTeg Thank this.

    106 isn’t really all that heavy. If it can’t handle that it’s a medium duty transmission.
     
    Feedman and Razororange Thank this.

    I was thinking more the jump between gears, having put 390k on a 12 speed myself doing normal highway work with zero issues.
     
    Feedman Thanks this.
