    ya you gotta be carefull about that hold botton, you'll be talking and then he'll be like "whats that?" and you just finished talking :biggrin_25523: Just a tip wait till after 9am to do your morning check call and he'll have time to talk to you, between 8 and 9 he has all his drivers calling to check in, as well as do loaded/mt calls, oh and he's on lunch from 1pm to 2pm so plan your calls accordingly

    I saw a lonestar truck in san antonio yesterday that was white with red signs and had straight pipes on it, it is a 379 pete truck number 4655... Whats the deal with that truck being different from all the rest?

    Thats an O/O, Lone Star only has 262 company trucks, the other 400+ trucks are all O/O's.

    how many miles on it? CR England decided to back his reefer into the side of my sleeper last night. thats always the way, old beat up ride never gets touched, brand new car, truck, whatever are magnets for damage. just put a few deep scratches in it and dented one spot a little.

    Those are easy to miss if you don't know where to look for the grease fitting. A lot of transmissions have a cover that needs to be removed to access the grease fitting, and then sometimes the clutch needs to be pressed in order to get to it. Other times, an extension hose is used so that you can grease the throwout bearing without removing the cover or having to press the clutch...but occasionally holes wear in that hose if it isn't routed properly around the moving parts and the grease doesn't get to where it is supposed to go.
