    I wouldn't have thought so either. I wonder if there will warranty issues from setting.

    WOW

    Some people scored BIG with those trucks if you're selling. I wish I had more money to invest to get two trucks/trailers when I started. At least it would give me a leg up starting out. But who knew this is going to happen.
    Though I feel sorry for anyone starting out at this time. I don't see the end of the tunnel...

    Not a good time for small owners when their trucks are used up and there is need RIGHT NOW to get something to replace one.

    Hopefully, I will float in the meantime. Though this year was pricey with all the repairs on mine. I will just keep my fingers crossed I'll be okay next year or two.

    Bulk doesn't seem to be in short supply. Maybe order a drum of oil?

    We have had delays on our bulk fill twice this year. 10-30 Mobil

    We got by on drums for a stint. The last fill made it before we were completely empty.

    The bare shelves are not a good sign at all. I might start saving empty drums to save some extra for backup.

    Stretch out the oil changes. Sometimes you can just do a filter change. My paccar has a centrifugal filter, so I change that and the primary. I use to run bypass filters but the new trucks have them built in I'll not change my oil less than 75k apart.

    I dont get to make that call....

    When you say I want an oil change- you get an oil change.

    Some months it goes faster than others.

    Some days 6 Pm's .......some days none.
