    My first century's head lights were as old as te truck....and they were hazed beyond repair. I drove it with those head lights thru some sketchy driving conditions, even my first snow storm. Actually I've driven in some of the ugliest conditions in my first 2 months with that truck lol but after 4 weeks and my Long over due pm....I told them to put new lamps in because I can't drive at night. After they put the new lamps in, i had more confidence to drive at night. My newer century, no issues and light up the road really well

    The headlights on my 07 Century were so bad that even with high beams on we couldnt see to drive at night. They buffed out the lenses during one PM but said they couldnt replace the lamps. They were as bad after the PM as they were before it. It was just plain dangerous. The Cascadia I had after that was great....the low beams were as bright as the Century's high beams had been.

    Yeah I 2nd that, I drove a cascadia for my TE week and those low beams are no joke! Rebuffing lenses will only last several weeks and they end up looking hazed again.

    My last fuel stop told me to put in 70 gallons but my truck wouldn't take any more than 50. Do I get dinged for that?

    Obviously you should've just dumped 20 gallons of fuel on the ground to get to 70.:biggrin_2556:

    SNI is getting too insane with the micro managing of their drivers. Maybe if they actually hired people who knew what they were doing it wouldn't have to be this way. Not saying this about any of the drivers in this thread. I'm talking about the guys who still continue to roll into the OCs holding their #### phone to their head.

    What cracks me up is in orientation they pound company policy into your head. Mainly the policy against using bluetooth head sets and then you walk into an OC and more than half the drivers have one stuck to their head.

    Always been like that
    Atleast the 3years I've been there. Get 50gal here. Then go to next fuel point and fill up. Every fuel point tells you how many gallons to get.

    I never followed that stupid 50 gallons crap and my fuel compliance was always 90-100%. Just fuel where they tell you to, don't worry about the 50 gallon crap and you'll be fine

    In theory thats not true. Any amount of fuel at a fuel solution should count twords your favor, and a skipped stop shouldn't count against yoy, nor should fueling at an OC.

    In theory.
