    I know... LOL! I just personally know more than a dozen guys with these EPA trucks that have been through hell and back with these EPA motors. A couple lost everything, the trucks bankrupted them. I will never own another one, I could have three really nice restored Petes sitting in my front yard right now with the monies I have in this thing and all of the lost revenue.

    A lot more trucks burning to the ground due to the EPA crap on them, too.

    I used to work on the inside on the corporate side. We had a lot of lease operators who went broke driving pre-emission trucks. So, what's your point?

    Guys like you crack me up on this forum. Next time instead of using words out of your vocabulary reach, I'll try and keep it to 3 letters words you can understand ;-)

    Happy Hanukkah!

    Screw you, I have a laundry list of guys like me that have had nothing but nightmares with these EPA trucks. I am far from the only one. I'll shoot you a few phone numbers if you want, you call them and explain it all. PM me and I will shoot you mine.

    And please do tell, what words did I use that are out of my "vocabulary"? Again, please, do tell. #######.

    Arkansas cops don't like truckers anyway.One time during a real bad ice storm I pull into a weigh station to park for the night dot said over the speaker keep going Werner.A huge lot and wouldn't allow truckers to park there.That should be criminal.

    The reason I am leased on where I am, I rarely leave Michigan. I can only imagine what it is like out there, and I have no desire to find out. ;-)

    Back then it was starting to get worse but now I can't even imagine.FMCSA knows how tough it is to find legal parking but who gets blamed for taking a 10 even though the truckers aren't in nobody's way.All weigh stations nation wide should allow drivers to park there make it into law.At least that help some with the parking problem.Or like the west coast make a huge lot into truck parking only.

    We can park in the scale houses here in Michigan, but I avoid them like the plague, as I do the rest areas during certain hours. The State cops like to roust you out of the cab when you are taking that break. They do the same in Ohio... I just thank GOD I do not have to go down that way anymore. I-40 has to be a royal mess in regards to parking. Little Rock has to be a mess along with W Memphis. I can only imagine. You can trip plan all you want, but some things are just no longer in the cards. You better have a good idea where those little mom and pop fuel stops are, 2 or 3 miles off of the interstate... Again, glad I am not out there.
