    I am scared outta my mind that you drive for Prime.

    now had you been a driver for Western Express, i'd have you commit suicide, so that I could feel better about myself.

    This might be a good time to remind drivers to "test" their defroster before Fall and cooler temps get here. Over a long summer, things can happen making your defroster non-operational and finding out it does't work when you need it the most is not good.

    The mechanic will give you a weird look when you write up a non-working defroster shutter solenoid, and it's August and 100 degrees F outside but he'll have to get over it.

    I've had good luck so far with Prime. They met and at times, exceeded my expectations.

    actually, many mornings here in New England, I have to turn on my defrosters and add heat, to clear my windshield. there is not a frost on the glass, but rather a high amount of dew(??) and even if I use my wipers, to clear away the dew, it comes back as a fog.

    Just roll the window down next time and stick your head out to see what's ahead! Now that's some "real trucking" right there. Lol.

    Funny you say that.......... Here is my video in Wyoming lol. It was very sketchy but I made it from elk mountain to Denver Volvo stealership for a new wiper motor. I wish I recorded more updates during this next 200mile drive. Lol don't mind the talking it wasn't suppose to be on YouTube lol it was for my own keeping.
