    OK, yesterday an air chamber blew and locked the brakes up. Got it fixed St the wingfoot at the pilot I shut down at in Lebanon. They did a CSA per Western Regs, found a few other things wrong. Enough that trailer needs to go OOS, and something took a sizable chunk out of a drive to the point it needs to be replaced. Instead of fixing of at the yard they tell me to take it to the yard.

    OK, they put the truck in the shop yesterday before 5. They didn't even touch it. Sitting here parked in the back waiting for them go finish it. 2 days to change a tire? Lazy butts. I'm about to go steal a Jack and a tire to do it my self...or just say screw it and get my load and drive to another wingfoot. Or better yet a TA

    Few other issues too. Oil consumption I wanted them yo checkout and I also got a bad wire on a worklight, couple hours work though still. My main complaint is them putting it in the shop and then taking it out without touching it. If they had it in the shop they shoulda went ahead and fixed it.
