    AC9F3B17-2C20-44DE-B2B8-92F571E72282.jpeg Gotta Love it. Must have pushed the sensor out while putting the hub back on. Right front brakes a little grabby. I adjusted them both evenly. Another adjustment is in order. This is why you can’t always blame the Mechanic. Sometimes it just bees that way Poppy!

    That’s easy……it sure isn’t the insurance companies. How/why would they want more nuclear verdicts? Rate levels are approved by the various Departments of Insurance, and typically it takes years in some states to get any rate relief, so the small underwriting profit margin of 3-8% can get eaten up by rate inadequacy and nuclear verdicts.

    The blame rests with the plaintiffs attorneys AND the people sitting on the juries that award the nuclear verdicts.

    They seem to be participating in an alarming trend I am noticing more often at Iron Skillet/Country Pride.

    Hours 6am to 10pm.....

    CLOSED FRIDAY AND SATURDAY!!!

    I mean, the 2 days where you can pretty much count on the fact that your customers are "stuck" there.

    You're either pre-staged for a Sunday/Monday delivery, or waiting for dispatch on Monday because your load got cancelled, or your dispatcher is a moron....

    I think those restaurants are going the way of the phone room.

    Big opportunity for good food trucks, or DoorDash drivers who can hustle.

    The two days closed is actually because they don't have the workers. The one in Vegas was like that, at least the fuel island for awhile. Now they're back to being open 7 days, but they close down at 2000 I think.

    Most insurance companies are for profit corporations. Most with shareholders to appease.

    Insurance companies exists to develop real estate and sponsor golf tournaments, not actually pay claims.

    Mine comes on when it rains or from wet snowy roads. Mine is the wiring. The plug end housings are broken/damaged/missing. I have the new harnesses. Just waiting for nicer weather to swap out.
