    My one experience with the SLC shop was waiting 5 days for them to replace a seal on the front differential. The seal had been replaced a couple months earlier, and the oil level was fine, but since the dirt on the diff was "wet" they had to replace it.

    A week later, I was in the shop at Martinsburg WV getting *both* hub seals on that axle replaced.

    At the docks in willowbrook, IL waiting for target personnel to get here.

    Turns out dollar tree in Chesapeake doesn't run owner ops so my second truck is back to running target reefer out of Columbus. I don't think he would've enjoyed the added labor involved anyways.

    Candor, NC. Made a big mistake. Did not look at my hours before accepting this load. Found out that I am 2 hours short of making my delivery on Thursday night in FL since not getting back any hours until midnight Thursday and the rec is night del only so now I can not del until 1600 on Friday. Going to be fun trying to get out of FL on Friday now.

    Taking break at the King City TS in Pasco WA.

    Ran my tail off from Laredo getting this load up here ASAP and it paid off. What was going to be a dismal 1600 mile week, since this load was set for Thursday live unload, has now turned into a fairly decent 3700 mile week. CSR and customer ok'd unload for today. Mac30 is dry though at the moment.

    Sometimes it it pays to hustle.

    I'm playing with my 70 on my current load as well.
    Just enough hours to get it there on Friday morning, with about 4 to spare that day.

    I took it easy today and stopped in Green River, UT.
    I'm planning to stop in Primm, NV tomorrow a bit after noon. Do a bit of gambling, then get a very early start to make my delivery in Rancho Cucamonga by 0800.

    I've gotten a few nice Command loads to Florida lately and had an abundance of Swift loads offered to get back out.

    Moose, I'm taking a few days off in Las Vegas at the Wild Wild West through Friday morning. Plenty of parking here if you wanted to come on in even later in the day. Would enjoy meeting you.

    Never a problem getting out during the week. I am looking at Friday nite or Saturday morning. I know that we have a Owens place somewhere in the area that are preloaded. Sure not going to haul water again at 45K. We shall see. What a rookie mistake. I should have known after pushing those 10 hour daays coming out of PHX last Thursday that I was going to be bumping my 70 soon. This the reason why I only like to run about 400-450 miles a day. Never run out of hours like this

    Kingsland, GA. Forgot that this Petro is not a original but a old Pilot I think. No Iron Skillet.
