    About 220k, I was hoping it was in that happy place between teething troubles and the ‘everything is falling apart stage’. Really other than Qualcomm it’s been a good truck. This week though I’ve got a reverse Midas touch. Every time I touch it something else breaks.

    Someone's dropping the ball when it comes to getting used trucks ready. When I picked my current truck, it had to have a decent amount of work put into it. Some of which should've been caught by techs. Like the rotted lines to the air dryer coming apart.

    Sounds like they need to park that truck and give you one that they know will be a bit more reliable. Kinda odd with FCC's reputation for having decent equipment that it's giving you so much trouble

    Well , CB finally finished the truck about 10:30. I rounded up my relay/t-call/split load and ran back to Fremont, and got to work. Finished moving about 2 AM. When I first started driving my trainer told me to always just move everything even if it’s supposed to be a temporary move. Whenever I ignored that advice I’ve regretted it.
    Loaner has 480k and has a 10 speed . Incredibly enough, I still remember how to drive a real truck. It’s tired but astoundingly clean inside. It’s very close to trade in mileage so one way or another I won’t be in it long. Hopefully we’ll have a good run together for the next little bit.

    If you saw a white Peterbilt parked in the back with a trailer that was me. I'm assuming you moved into that white Kenworth that's sitting beside your truck

    Sure is, got good food too. Wish it was one of our fuel stops it would be perfect for going in and out of Texas. I stay there if I can find a parking spot where I won't roll out of my bunk whilst I'm sleeping. LOL
