    Check with your DM. I don't think it's been opened up to all L/Os yet. See where you are as far as service rating.

    Yakima still. Fell asleep earlier ...I never take naps! Anyway, loading a shorty to Spokane tomorrow, drop at the yard over on Sullivan. From there....??

    Seems freight is a bit slow.

    Yea I was in Houston but they found my hiding place and made me come into the terminal and give up my empty. Got a pre-plan 15 minutes later gave me another trailer since mine was gone and it was filled with metal shavings.

    I could have killed the driver who just dropped that trailer!!!! because of him I spent an hour cleaning it up. Cut right through my gloves and hands!!! And it caused me not to make it to Lancaster tonight! Because I only had four hours left on my 70 and used one up cleaning his mess up.

    I went down to the guard shack and reported it and they said ones man trash is another mans treasure!!! Driver beware I seen you drop the trailer I know who you are! Wait until I see ya again fool!!!

    Now I am stuck in a rest area and just barely made it with 5 minutes left to drive!!


    Injun yes I will see my kids after getting a B service in Lancaster. I am actually going to run through Austin to pick up my 15 year old son and he is going to come with me for three weeks. I will spend a day with the other three as well.

    Ooh! That'll be great! Some good time for one-on-one dad time. So important and so meaningful to a young man.


    Next time, find a better hidey-hole. That Love's is a bit obvious. I'd try for one across town.

    Mystic: When you get it to the dealer, you will probably need a compressor. Also, have them check to see whether the thermistor recall has been addressed and whether your computer has been programmed to run the rear fan on "low" whenever the key is either in the accessory or run position. These two service advisories are in place to keep compressors from going out. No idea how or why they are supposed to do that.

    I lost my A/C last year, in Texas, in August nearly a month to the day after getting this truck. A/Cs seem to be an ongoing problem with the Internationals. Even that 1999 i9900 Eagle I had blew the A/C compressor. It had a Cat motor in it...so it's not the Cummins.

    If they find something other than the two service advisories I mentioned, please tell the class so we can get it taken care of.

    Know I'm not with Swift anymore, but I'm back in the hotel for orientation at my new job. #### though, they widdled them down. Class is a bit smaller now than it was at the beginning. Still got two days left of orientation.

    Passed my physical and road test today.

    Also, got my driver code today. Last five digits of my driver code from swift is my driver code for my new job. Freaky.
