    Yeah ... mine were about 8 months old only around 100k on 'em ... but also there have been some changes since I completed my lease.

    I was under the old program where you had to come up with 20% down plus the sales tax .... biggest reason I turned the truck in and bought a used one.

    Fridley, MN, 30 miles from home.
    After I delivered this Target load I only had 30 minutes left on my 70. Not enough time to drive 30 miles to get home.
    So I'm camped out at the Walmart until morning.

    I've done the Walmart trailer move thing.

    If I had my druthers I'd rather stick with the Target surge stuff.

    Doing a 10 in Cheyenne at a T/A. 4 mins left on my 70.

    Heading out after midnite to drop early at a Walmart DC south of SLC, do a 10 to get a live load picked up a little further south of the DC. Light load going over the Rockies and down into TX for a Wed morning drop. Another 3K week wrapped.

    On the way into the first stop in Denver was asked to bring all my papers into Ft Morgan scalehouse. Allowed to proceed no problems into Denver, did a ten and got pulled into Ft Collins for a level 3 passed no problems (free $100 bucks yay). Got further north into Wyoming and had to bring papers in again to the POE but got a free burger,hotdogs offer water and chips.

    Was on my way to SLC for the final but have been having a lot of problems with the DPF system in the past few months. pulled over for a parked regen this time it took 2 full hours and the white smoke coming out of the stack looked like a small volcano. Agents calling me left and right for a reload out of SLC ahead of he weekend, I turned them all down stating that I thought I would put the truck in the shop. But I guess running full speed across from Laramie to SLC must have cleaned out the DPF enough to cancel out the CEL for now. Seem to be stuck here all weekend nothing shaking on the load boards til Monday. Oh did get one offer for 45,280 pounds going to Cali , unapproved broker at my company so strike 2 gets a no.

    Here at the North 40 in TN. Thought that when got through Nashville it was going to be a long ride. Was seeing a back up by MM188 and it was 2 way oversized loads getting ready to get back on the road. Thought that I was going to be able to get around them right away and right then is when the trooper decided to stop traffic. These where real wide loads, took up both lanes. Up the hills at about 20 and down at 30. When we finally got to about the 177 they pulled over to use the 2 far right lanes so we could get around.

    Home again home again, jiggety jig.

    Got a 64GB card for my dash cam and a WD Black2 for my computer.
    Now I'm having fun playing with it all, and enjoying a real kitchen to cook in again.

    And now I have to buy my sister a pair of headphones for her computer, after letting her listen to mine.
    She never even realized what she was missing.
