    I'll be thru there in the am to fuel, probably.... As soon as I get keys to the truck my slip-seat locked up on me.... Love when the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.

    Oh, and the kicker - I'm at the yard but as I was exiting I saw flickers of yellow.... It turned into this:

    No one here at the time but myself and one of the terminal guys who was getting the keys for me that I alluded to a few posts ago.

    Probably gonna lose 4 or 5 tractors out of this.

    No clue. I do know it started beneath the cab.... Electrical, maybe?

    Well.... I've heard there's another tractor on fire at the Scarborough terminal.... I can't attest to the validity of that however.

    But if so, what are the odds? Two tractors, two locations, on the least busy day of the week - when almost nobody is going thru the yard at this hour.
