    I think the hardest part would have been, replacing it in sub-zero wind chill temps.

    Sitting in a dock in Calhoun, Georgia. Been here a bit over 4 hours and in a door for a couple of hours. Heading to Topeka so at least I’ll be out of the South for a little while. Was supposed to pick up yesterday but they wanted me to look at a red tag trailer in Cullman, got it going but had to hit a shop to get a couple hubcap gaskets replaced and a look over on a leaking wheel seal (Breakdown wanted to wait and get that fixed in our shop since it wasn’t quite bad enough yet to be an emergency). By the time that was done I wasn’t going to make it before the shipper in Calhoun closed.

    Doctor said i’m gonna live and i have a new 2 year card. Dispatch has me going out to Four Oaks. Haven’t been out there in a hot minute so i’m looking forward to it.

    Talked to Shane and my truck should finally be out of the shop sometime this week. Fremont will check it out to make sure everything is okay and if it is, I should move back into it next week.

    I also have some great news. Mike in recruiting has been back to work since Monday. I welcomed him back and he told me that some days are still a bit of a struggle but he’s doing a lot better
     
    dwells40, DonRobbie, IH9300SBA and 6 others Thank this.

    It would be hard enough in the Summer... but I have never had a starter, or a fuel pump fail in anything other than bad weather. And with a fuel pump, it's always right after I put gas in it.

    I had a door on the Sliver Buick blow shut in the Walmart parking lot in Council Bluffs the other day, while I was putting my stuff in the back seat. It was -4 with a 25mph N wind at the time. It latched closed on the tip of my right pinky. I made a couple of mad fat kid noises, opened the door, and cussed a bit more. It's a little bruised now, but at least I can't feel my pulse in it anymore. I rolled over and hit my hand on something that night in the sleeper. Cue more angry fat kid noises...

    I enjoy watching this channel, he is super sharp on drivability issues, and has a sense of humor as well. Upstate NY, salt, rust....can't imagine. https://youtube.com/shorts/BWGHKj-oJFU?si=CPFVhpx_H7EJptS6
