    So, looking at things this morning I think that the return to tank line has a pinhole in it right above the starter. But, I have a appt with mhc in salina as soon as I can get there.

    I almost did it a few weeks ago in W. memphis. My drivers side has a chain for it so it don't get lost but the pass. don't. So I tend to put it on my box step to the left of the tank so i'll look at it as I take the hose out. That time I didn't.. thank god as I pulled out another flat driver banged on my door and let me know. Otherwise it woulda been a rag & duct tape fix for a while!

    I got a compressor pipes load formed on a skid... 14' wide... first level 2 load in this level... from near Tulsa to Laredo due Thursday.

    Ya my DM was surprised. They said it was 12' something to LS but there are 4 lift points that are 9" a piece not included in the overall width, which put it at just under 14'. This is my 2nd L2... The first being that tower with a one time upgrade back in Jan. well on my way to L3 already!

    Do a couple of those and do them well (which is a given) you could get an early upgrade. I was rolling to Baltimore with a dude who got a call from his dispatcher telling him he got one to level 3. He came on as a level 1 though. I'm good at 2 for at least this summer though. Want miles.

    Well, got to mhc this afternoon and 12, and was told they'd get to me around 1400. But my luck hit and they pulled me inat 1345, and was back rolling by 1425. Then I hit the afterburners and rode up here to Brookfield, MO to repower this load from Keen, only to see that the tread from the inside pass front dual is gone, down to the cords and the mud flap is flipped up on top of the duals, so now here I sit doing my 10, waiting for the tire guy. Lol

    This project just got a little better. Instead of paying us straight mileage, the company is going to put us on salary at $900/week. I'll take that for now. They're estimating the project will last another 4-5 weeks.

    That's not bad. I guess enough people complained about having to stay on mileage.
