    .....Two Cajuns were waiting at the bus stop when a truck went past loaded up with rolls of turf.
    Boudreaux said, “I’m gonna do dat when I win da lottery.”
    “What’s dat?” asks Thibodeaux.
    “Send da lawn off to be mowed.”......

    I wonder if Roehl would get upset if I had "The Blue Lemon" painted in nice pin stripe lettering on the fenders just above or below the tractor number. I'm thinking a nice yellow would really stand out.

    Not real happy I don't have a load to get me rolling first thing in the morning. On the other hand I need to make my hours last till next Wednesday. I can afford to get home Wednesday, not Tuesday.

    Find a shop that does vinyl lettering, they can create any design and make it. I had my truck done up at the I75 truckstop/chrome shop dowm in Florida. Pretty cheap also. Take your VID to a freightliner dealer and they can tell you the build specs on your truck, IE the gear ratio's.

    Preacherman you should get "The Blue Lemon" on the back of the bunk too, just like all the supertruckers do... Sorry your truck is giving you so much grief, I know that I owned a "preowned" century class, and it was a bit of a nightmare also, so I feel your pain. Good luck and we'll be praying for you.

    And by the way it is true, tires are round (well kind of) and black. They are the second biggest expense after fuel, so they are something to keep track of and make the most of... I'm just saying...
