    I swear I saw something dripping from behind your ears near the end of that vid. May wanna get that checked out.

    :biggrin_25525::biggrin_2559:

    Looked like a nice ride. That Pilot over in Hebron is probably the best "Peelot" I've been too. Always stopped there on the way to, or coming back from Chicago. They actually have parking spaces there, which makes me think it started out as something other than a Pilot.



    Oh, btw...... IN through the OUT door?

    So I started just before the sun poked up and made it to Corbin, KY....only 590 or so miles I think....I still have like 6-7 hours to drive in the morning :biggrin_2553:. I'm hopeing to be there by 11am apt was for 730. I never heard back from dispatch and the broker has yet to call me so they must be on another snow day lol I called the customer and left the warehouse guy a voice mail and he didnt call back...so we'll see what happens


    Then I was going down the road and went over one of the seems between the road and a bridge you know those small little 3 inch or so seems???? Well my drivers side windsheild now has a 8" crack in it!!!!!!!

    So I have a feeling my truck is going to spend the weekend in the shop, thus leaveing me home not making money again, i have a LIST of things that HAVE to be fixed...

    So if thats what ends up happening I hope I can get and stay rolling next monday

    It happens. Not sure why, but truck windshields just don't like me. I didn't think I was THAT ugly.

    :biggrin_2553:

    Might as well get everything done that you can while you are in the shop.

    How does your windshield crack by going over a bridge seem?
    Seriously?
    Was there a crack or flaw already in the glass?

    theres a few chips in that side but no where near where it cracked lol

    The truck has been wrecked be rebuilt just about everything from the windsheild forward is new so the truck might be tweaked and putting pressure on the windshield.....just a guess. I'm not happy about it the i just had the other side replaced because of a crack in the same place and that side now leaks bad...
