    Problem is everyone wants whole sale valve on the truck during trade in.. my loan is still 19,000.. let me explain this here arrow truck sales makes you pay interest up front.. basically if you don't pay truck off in the first year of a 3 year loan there no benefit to paying off early then... so I would be in a hole getting another truck right almost $30,000 out of pocket...

    Part of lot here is gravel part is snow it seems I had to pull forward so another truck could get into shop before me as he needed shocks. So I moved forward and then with no weight on the trailer we couldn't get traction. truck is full of mud now from them spinning tires lol..
    There 3 Mercer trucks in this shop now.. One getting a overhaul? one needing oil cooler? and mine lol

    It happens. I've done simular things too.

    Your shop sounds like the shop I use. except mine is full of WS trucks. But the only major work done there seems to be sleepers being installed.

    Anyway stay safe everyone.

    So good ol skateboard and i had a nice lazy day. No loads so we went to walmart for groceries and a couple camping chairs. Had a big ol streaming hot dinner of potatoes, onions, peppers, carrots and kielbasa sausage.

    Ya all ever hear us preach that good things happen to those that do good things? Just as we was settling down to call it a night some dude walks up in total frustration. You could hear it in his voice. 10 miles from his delivery. Broke as hell. And with a broke down truck. His power steering pump went out on him and he found a cheap used one but just couldn't get it back together. Well i put on my coveralls and gene grabbed his wrenches. An hour later he is rolling out and we got a call for loads in the am.

    Reason for edit: Stupid phone. It was 10 miles, not 10 hours.
