    I never pulled a UPS load and always did well between Thanksgiving and the New year. I always figured a lot less stress and BS.

    But to be fair, I could have made more money, had I pulled UPS just never had the desire to.

    Id be worried that when they make ya pull a swift trailer it might cause an urge to find low bridges and unmarked dirt roads.

    Has anyone replaced the air compressor that's gear driven ? Is it something pretty easy ?

    It's heavy. But other than that pretty straight forward. Just gotta line the gear up before you slide it in. If i can do it you can do it. And i did it on the side of us 75 in Texas.

    I saw a international 9400 with Mercer on the door yesterday at the TA in Richmond Hill GA. He had the hood up and the toolbox out, I said I have finally ran across Pete, it has to be him.

    Then it dawned on me, Pete is up North playing package hauler.

    I did go over and see if he needed any help, he was just changing a fuel filter.

    Pete, that truck has been telling you to scrap it for at least 2 years

    Yeah but it's not paid off. Feb it is. But even then it's gonna be about 15k for a truck which is fine but I want more money for maintenance then I did when I started here.

    Don't give up pete. A dropped loner isn't that expensive of a job. Call and get a quote on an inframe kit.
     
    TruckerPete1990 Thanks this.
