    That'll happen from time to time.
    But don't let it harsh your mellow.
    Just think of all the bad advice I've given you over the years.
    It's not that we're evil, we're just silly.

    Lol. I'm talking about the brake shoe.

    No their is a shortage of trucks and parts, that's helping rates. You can't replace the trucks that get Cratered in NM death zone.



    But inflation is a head wind for sure. All the other times we were in this cycle. It pops in a time like this, imo. We could see $5 a gallon easy with Ukraine.

    Mother earth is just waiting for that Dai Chi water to be released into the Japanese current.

    Then there's going to be a tsunami that carries it inland like 40 or 50 miles along Californian's coast.

    No, it’s fine. A couple of mine are ike that, why? I really don’t know. Looks to be even all the way around. If it wasn’t, Wheel end could be loose or brake spider bent a bit. As long as they’re not ####ed at an angle, shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a common thing. When they sit inside, they usually get set into a groove in the drum. Then the shoes look more worn than they are, because they’re sitting down inside the lip of the drum. Ideally seems they should be just inside the drum. Really even with the drum would be perfect. Both shoe and drum wearing at same rate. Run your finger inside a drum any drum, you’ll feel the heat/ wear grooves, unless they’re brand new.

    Always the optimist?

    Unless they follow the lead of HHGG and ship them off to colonize another planet. Would be nice, but I don't see it happening.

    One side is in and one side is out. It's at an angle. I'm thinking s cam shaft. Idk. Get it looked at. I called trailer maintenance to ask if it was fine. They said let's get it fixed/looked at. They didn't want a picture. So now we're off to the shop.

    Had a dispatch that if you were early they would get upset, if you were on time, they would get upset, if you were late, they would get upset. The only reason I can figure out is, they had to answer a phone and actually do something.
