    freaking rock cost me $590. I have an O/D load and I’m in El Paso heading to Phoenix. Instead of delivering Saturday, now I will probably have to wait until Monday. Still a chance but I’m not gonna get crazy. It was below wiper, but spread up quick :mad:


    I thought about it for a sec. then realized he’ll no

    Man that sucks. Couldn't drive with it and schedule a repair down the road to cut down on wait time (I'll meet you at Xyz at xx:xx)? I've never been inspected before but I'm guessing that's why you shut it down? Couldn't use the it happened 3 miles ago excuse?

    I could try that excuse. But it is an OOS violation and under permit. I would be screwed

    Permit loads must always enter weigh stations if they are open. Too risky

    Ban all rocks. Save our financial way of life based on the almighty credit or dolla in your pocket.

    Actual freight need not move.

    When I ran the Alcan, I was constantly changing windshields. I was headed to Alaska and caught a good one shattering my windshield, but not in the line of sight.
    I was coming back to wisconsin and right back to Ak, so ran with it. Just before I got to Madison, I passed a dot in the median and he saw it and pulled me over, He wrote ,e up but no fine and no oos, I weent ahead and changed it as soon as I loadedd though.
    I could change them in my international in 10 minutes or less, wish they were that easy in my KW. lol
