    I think I must have inherited Jimmy Buffet's mirror that lies.

    Let your co-driver drive then...

    True story:
    I got my oil changed at Loves. 15 miles down the road, my oil drain plug blows out (they wont admit they stripped it). Im about 45 miles from home with a load going to Coca-Cola in Eagan, Mn. I get a tow to take me to the dealer, Coke is on the way, so I talk the driver into swinging by there (its WAY after their normal hours, but I had been doing this run for years and knew I could get in) and dropping the trailer.

    Just 1 thing: the tow truck driver wouldnt let my dog in his truck (I only had 1 at the time). So she stays in our truck and off we go. We get to Coke and I get out to drop the trailer and I see her up there standing on the seat, paws on the steering wheel, and her tail wagging so fast you would have thought it was on fire! She was looking at me like "I kept right up with you daddy!" so now she thinks she can drive anywhere...

    I have a quick drain on mine. I stopped at the speedco here in town and got the oil changed. Made it the 20 miles home and I had oil everywhere. Lost 3 gallons in that 20 miles. They didn’t close the valve all the way and lock it. I raised holy hell and haven’t been to another one. Just imagine if I wasn’t headed home. Well… I guess you can imagine.

    Really don’t trust them for that. Barely trust the fuel. Showers, trust those, they tend to be ok. Trust that they will also have a line for them.

    So like this shop is barely finished, what two three days tops? How did it get crammed full of stuff that quickly?
