    I went camping for a week and it took me a week to catch up.

    Partner got a call from the team we "compete" against, each week trying to outdo each other on rates. Yesterday the other lead driver called letting us know he was set up for a $20k week with the pre-books he arranged. Today he called bewitching because he had to fall off the next 2 loads, and is sitting all weekend in a hotel because of an error in delivery appointments.

    Meanwhile we had a nice 10.1 week, and that is with my partner running half the week solo.

    I finally broke down and bought a 2000w inverter. Only saw one at a Loves, last week. Plenty of 1500s and 3000s It’s the yellow one. Same price at Truck world. $260. Seems expensive, but supposedly it’s a pure sine. Thought they wore modified sine. Anyway it’s done now. I’ll need to upgrade my battery fuse from 150 to 200 Amp. Thinking of ordering a god one online. Auto parts ones I have, had to drill the holes out, of cut it to make it fit over the battery post. Maybe a 200 amp circuit breaker? Any suggestions welcomed.

    Eating "about half" of a large watermelon is abnormal. Kinda equates with "programed/planned"sex.

    4 plugs and 2 USB ports. I loved mine. You can also link to it Bluetooth. But not much need.

    Sign of the times. Progress really. It used to be "Demon Rum" caused the downfall of the gifted and talented.

    Mines on a circuit breaker and wired with welding lead works really good.

    I have the fuse now at the battery. I’m replacing my 1500w, it’s got a 150amp fuse now. It smoked out, and blew the fuse. Got it disconnected now. Wiring is adequate for 2000w, so thinking a 200 amp circuit breaker at the battery would be best. Changing a fuse is a greasy mess.
