    There were 2 people there with orange hi-viz shirts. One sitting on the trailer duals, the other talking to the trooper. I guess they were the drivers because I didn't see any other vehicles around

    Maybe a trainer and trainee, and hopefully the trainee was driving…

    At least he had the sense enough to put in the ditch, instead of running into stopped traffic. Come on people look more than 10ft in front of your hood.

    That i70 right? Always a mess. Do they still have 55 mph posted the entire stretch?

    Have you looked at any of the euro owned companies down in you’re area? They will give you all the miles you can run and then some

    Only had this truck for 2 weeks and it already died on me. Pulled into a truck stop for my 10 and shut her down. Not even 30 minutes later when the opti-idle tried to kick her back on it just stalled and would not start.

    Don't know what's wrong with it, but noticed my fuel filter is completely empty and it looks wet( like fluid dried) along the whole fuel rail system. Since I'm parked at a Loves, breakdown says to just check in with the shop so now I'm waiting for my turn.

    Edit
    Shop guy saw no leak but after filling fuel filter it gobbled up almost the whole tank before starting up. Fuel filter housing was also extremely lose, he barely touched it and the housing lid almost came off so he put a new seal and tightened it down. Have to run it for atleast 1 hour before shutting it down, to avoid having to prime it, but now I'm fighting that auto shutoff.

    Not sure why you suggested this, until this quarter, miles have been the one thing I have had very little to complain about. Besides, white Volvo euro companies are for people with piss poor driving records who can't work for anyone else. My record is great. Going to a euro company would be like having a zit, then popping it with a sledge hammer. Or removing your excess unsightly body hair with a flame thrower

    Yeah, the whole zone is 55, but traffic is either doing 30, or riding you ### and complaining if you're only doing around 60. It does look like a bunch of the construction is complete on the west bound lanes...they, for some reason, had barrels set up on the dotted line that are painted on the fresh asphalt.
