    also eric to each his own but, i would really recommend a personal cpa for your taxes, atbs does a great job on my p&ls but they were way off on my taxes and i had to get them re done. i just dropped them today bc i choose to use my cousin he is a cpa and has his mba, so i know everything is done right and its alot more personal

    Left out of Marshfield this morn heading to evans,Ga with a dang load with a extra day on it lol.. don't have to deliver till 11am Tuesday. Guess it gives me a chance to stop and get a PM done. Will more than likly be hanging out in ellenwood most of Monday and just head out from there early Tuesday.
    Passed my quarterly inspection. So I didn't have to pay to fix anything there lol..They got the brake issue fixed on my truck. Just needed some tweakin and cleaning of the cams and pads.. didn't get that annoying moaning sound the steering makes when turning fixed cause they had to order me a whole new steering colum (thank goodness I ain't gotta pay for that lol) something about it binding .. it will be in marshfield on Tuesday but I won't be so ill have to head back up there.. also got my window working properly so that's better lol

    Eric,

    Not trying to butt into your business here, but I will. Have someone check the negative ground post that is welded on the frame behind the last battery in your battery box. I will bet it has either cracked or is about to break off entirely. If it breaks, your truck will just go completely dead. The fix from freightliner is expensive but is the best option. Having it welded back is a temporary fix that will break again.

    Just a little heads up
    Good luck brother
