Going Over the Road with Knight

A regular occurance on that stretch of highway. Happens in the rain as well. Des Moines to Walcott, probably several hundred trucks a year crash through there. The Ohio Turnpike is another one. Only thing I can guess is ice and rain combined by strong winds with an extremely high traffic volume.

 

The wind wasn't that bad, maybe 25 knots at most and the road is pretty mild, no real big hills or tight turns. Most of the ones in the ditch were at the bottom of a hill or on the outside of a curve so it looks like they were going too fast for the conditions add in the low visabilty of night driving and they were pushing their luck. I'll drive in bad conditions during the day within reason but once that sun goes down I'm parking it until morning.

 

Had a Maxxforce of ours doing that in Idaho Falls, they ended up rebuilding the tranny. Shrug, at least it gets done before you own jt. Also make sure to get the MRP that thing saved my ### though out the lease. Not so much in the first year but the second and thrid it covered more then what I put into it.

 

It depends on what happened to it before you got it. It also depends on if it had a defect, The one that got rebuilt did have a defect in the tranny.

Sweet bro, Yep its been a good year for you, Hope you have many more.

 

Before you guys took on your lease did you get everything fixed on the tractor before signing the paperwork?

I'm guessing they make sure the mechanical issues are taken care of but what about small stuff like a drawer latch not locking or fixing a busted hvac vent.
