    Roger that. It is what it is, so I stay flexible with things out of my control. Will have another home cooked meal at my buddy's house tonight.

    There is a new International back in Wilmington and the rumor has it that it is going to replace my current truck. I might just end up in that until I have to come get this one for it's last system run. We shall see

    Update. Getting towed to a dealer down in Denver tomorrow. If they can't fix it in a reasonable time, I'll fly home.

    Will probably meet up with my brother-in-law while down there. If I'm not running the system, might as well meet up with friends and family. Lol

    Mmmmm...going from a Mack to an International? Like you said, there's not much you can do about things out of your control.

    Got back to Wilmington last night. Tomorrow I'm going in to switch my gear over to the new rig. Heading out again Monday.

    Does it have the new A26 engine in it? I've seen many good things about this engine. We're looking at getting another International with this engine in it.

    My terminal is refusing any internationals. The local dealer network here is very bad and noone really wants them here so...sticking with the macks and petes!
     
    Mortarmaggot and scythe08 Thank this.
