    Do you mix the Dawn/PP with plain water in your solvent bottle or do you add this to regular WW cleaner solutions you purchase?Thanks

    I was going to add that...

    In the winter time, below freezing, mix the Dawn and Purple Power in with regular alcohol based washer solvent. In the summer time, I mix it with plain old water.

    For a broken wipers emergency, get an onion, slice it in half and wipe the windshield with the open half. It will make the water stream off. If I recall correctly a plug of chewing tobacco will work too.

    Hey, PP. Took my driving test today, got 103 out of 104 on the pre-trip and a minus 6 on the driving. Glad that's behind me. Hopefully, I'll get picked up by TMC by the end of the Month. Looking forward to getting away from cubicle hell, and enjoy the freedom of the open road. I'm sure trucking will come with its own chanllenges (sp), but I'm willing to learn. After a year or two flatbedding, I will also go on my own. Have the money put aside to purchase a truck (used), just need a flatbed trailer after that.

    Those are good scores. Sound a lot like mine :yes2557:

    Hopefully when you're ready to venture out flatbedding is kicking hiney again.
