    We we got delayed by the crappy starter which is now new. We were at a rest stop when it stopped working so that was good. Delayed us getting back to Michigan and getting another load before snow hit.
    So now we sit and wait for trailer to get finished loading. It's snowing now and we can't wait to head on our way to Florida. Gotta love holiday loads they are making us money.
     
    Wickedfire77 and Highway Sailor Thank this.

    Well, our day just hit rock bottom. At least we got a good meal before hand.

    Our turbo just blew. Calling roadside to be towed for oil is mostly leaked out too. On interstate 475 in GA too. At least traffic not supper heavy.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Well, we are in a hotel till Monday. Great that we have the maintenance fee every week to pay for repairs. But we have been told this dealer is real slow so we could be here alot longer. I hope not as this is paid in full.

    Good note we talked with local OO about getting our own Authority. Not as expensive as it used to be. Just got come up with a few hundred instead of a few thousand now.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Hope that you get your truck back on the road quickly. It just sucks when something like that happens.
