    I am heading to Denver now, was there yesterday and headed east to Grand Junction, I-70. Saw the sign to chain up at 228 so, stopped at the fuel stop, at MM334 and waited it out.. Well after two hours and the weather app saying that it isn't going to change, I headed out with my new found trucker friend lol

    That's the way you do it sometimes. Our trailers are so light, I just didn't want to risk it any longer. I nearly jacked it twice on 80. I blamed the wind plus ice. I gross out at. 27k when empty. Huge advantage when hauling heavy freight like beer paper or water , but it backfires when empty.
    Be careful out there.

    So I had a headlight out. I stopped at a TA to change it. When I pulled the light from the lense area, it illuminated. So I put it back in and it stayed lit. Odd. I kept trucking and it happened two more times.
    This morning it didn't come back on. I'm at the yard now, so I'm going to get it replaced. Hope it's not a wiring issue going undetected

    Sounds like wiring or a failing connection.

    Could be like one on my truck and the socket where the bulb plugs into was messed up. Not a big issue.

    Frustrating a tech with it now. Doing it in the yard because he thought it was going to be an easy fix. He may be pulling me in a bay. It's cold out

    I keep getting robo calls from JB hunt? Anyone else getting these?

    Not me. Then again, I don't answer calls from Area Codes I don't recognize.

    Me either . I let it go to voicemail, then I block it and it calls again from a new number. When I try to call it, it says it's not in service . I don't want to call the recruiting line, but maybe a legal line and let them know it is unwanted solicitation and may be harassment if they keep it up
