I ended up sitting in Corpus on Tuesday until 1630.. then was told to just head to San Antonio to hit the shop. I got checked in about 1930 but they couldn't get to me... I opted to stay in the truck at the T/A down the road on I10 to save a buck and returned Wednesday morning to get her worked on. They got done at 1800ish... 10 hours of shop pay.. not bad.. so I headed BACK to the T/A where I sat until Friday. I finally got orders to head to Laredo at 1500ish to get a scraper bowl destined for Decatur for a Monday morning delivery. Hopefully I won't get a load that returns me to Texas. When I submit my permit route I might ask if theres a chance I might get a load that don't return me to Texas.. seems we ALL sit when we're there. When I was ordered to Laredo it was via a forwarded email which included all the trucks sitting in S. Texas and there were at least 10 of us needing loads. Rediculous!

My truck decided to take a dump on me yesterday. Rolling through PA on the turnpike smelled coolant and low coolant light came on all at once pulling a hill. Pulled over and it was empty in the 2 min it took me to get to a pull off. Pete in Youngstown, OH thinks the head gasket let go. Looked like it was blowing out one of the turbos to me. Anyway, sat on the side of the road for 6 hours waiting for the tow truck. Pete and cat are closed til Monday. I think its an omen. I was on my way to Gainesville to turn my truck in to go to a local job.

I don't know. Mine has nothing to do with Lonestar. I just have a new wife and bahy that want me at home and a job making similar money that will let me be home. I don't really want to leave...just where I'm at right now in my life.
DrtyDiesel Thanks this. -

If you can get NBCS you can see a lot of the playoff games since the NBC sports network now has a contract with the NHL to show regular season and half of the playoff games.Last edited: May 5, 2013
