    Erlanger KY to Hillsborough, NJ with a load of plasma is a weekly run for us. Usually reload in Melville NY back to NC…. Luckily they try to spread it around since there are only a few drivers like me that don’t mind the NE

    I like the QT locations for their Flavored Iced Teas. Much better than the big chains tea options. Trying to stay away from the soda as much as possible.

    In the past yes. But I’m not sure now. I’ll take a drive by this weekend and have a look.

    158E6991-CD0C-4B16-8F91-88904868E548.jpeg C97FDE61-CC47-4F20-B954-360F7697B1B2.jpeg 7A57DFB1-327D-4DA3-B5B2-D7E7E12A6011.jpeg So I had a delivery at the Walmart DC in Henderson, Nc, thanks to the non backing yard jockey I now have minor damage to my truck.

    I ran in to grab my bills, when I came back out the couple parked next to me waved me over and let me know he had hit my truck while backing a trailer into the door next to me. They said they blew their horn, and let him know he hit my truck, and he just drove off.

    I went in and got Walmart security/safety involved, they came out took pictures and took statements. At first they didn’t believe it, until I showed them the marks on the trailer he backed into the door. I can only imagine what it will be like pulling teeth to get Walmart to compensate for the damage.

    On another note, I have an appointment at Pittsburgh power Monday to get several things done to the truck. I made the appointment three months ago, and was going to reschedule, but they said the next appointments are pushed out until September.

    Getting the overhead run, DPF baked and cleaned, torsional dampener replaced, and New intake manifold installed. Most likely be in the shop 2.5 days.

    As much as I wasn’t a fan of Bruce from Pittsburgh power on the power hour of Rutherfords show, I sure do miss that show in general, pretty solid info coming from the rest of the guys and I always enjoyed the MD alignment segment. The KC Phillips show that took that slot is just as much of a joke as the rest of the programming on that channel. Hope the truck comes out better than new.

    You can still listen, the new updated Let’s truck app is now streaming live shows, and what’s nice is it’s all separate. If you want just rolling toe, or the power hour, it’s all categorized. Not interested in the health shows, don’t have to listen., and no commercials.
