Running With Watkins & Shepard

Don't want to move out of mine. I'm about out of hours anyway so I'm gonna try to get the room and some break down pay (this time) and see if I can stay in my home. But gotta check out now...talk to you all later I hope.

 

Well, as it turned out, I didn't get into anothet truck. I took mine to the shop and it kept seeming like we got the problem fixed. Then I'd run it a while and the same thing would happen. By the time all this was done, I think dispatch gave up on me and I never heard from them.

So, I have to hang here over night for a new fuel pump to arrive in the morning. I just hope I didn't shoot myself in the foot for getting under load tomorrow when the work is done. Especially with a fresh 70 now..... We'll see......

 

Oh....I'm running sammycat!

Got a load out of Conover Friday afternoon and headed for Huston now. Stopped in Biloxi MS for the Ummmm...morning? Day? LOL Rolled in here about 04:00 EST.

I finaly met and have been hanging with Mike NC!! VERY COOL guy. He brought his truck over to Blue Ridge for a lube service while I was there. We went shopping at Wal Mart so I finaly have a full cooler of food again. He has a run to TX as well so we're rolling together. Very Cool to have a friend to run with!!

So, they put a new fuel pump and filter in mine. It idles OK and runs good but the fuel level is WAY low in the filter bowl. So it's still not "fixed". I'll try to get a load headed for Hellena next and perhaps they can get it done. The pump did need to be replaced as it was suking air into the system.

I personally think there's a crack in the filter base that allows the fuel to flow to the outlet before it can fill up over the filter's bottom and actually feed "through" the filter. As long as she's pulling...I'm DRIVING....LOL I don't want no moss growing under MY feet.....
