    Breezy here today for the first time in weeks. I was glad I had a water backhaul instead of an empty. Also, because someone here mentioned winter and chain laws, Colorado has put up the signs reminding us of that fact. Thanks a lot.

    Someone just called and told me, the shop where my KW is at, which is there for AC in bunk fixed, wiper arm on RHS and fuel gauge, is hooked to a Pepsi trailer and they’re using it for a yard dog, checking lights on that trailer.

    So, they’re closed on weekends, i don’t have a load yet, but Monday I can,
    A. Throw a fit.
    B. Charge $200-500/day rental fee.
    C.Go get my truck.
    D. Negotiations on sales on one of his trailers at 2k off the price for a month of usage of my truck.

    I’d definitely have a lot to say about that…….. go right to the service manager or owner…….

    Hmm...
    I ordered 7 work shirts.
    I thought they were high, but I like the shirts.
    180 for 7, so not quite $26 each.
    Now I see actual price.
    Maybe I should’ve gotten more.

    Einstein wore the same clothes style every day. So he wouldn't spend brain power on what to wear.

    Well is it yard dog stuff or just checking lights?

    I would talk to them and use it as leverage for a quicker turn around next time you bring trucks there.

    Said they were moving the Pepsi trailer around and then went to checking lights, I don’t know, I wrote mileage down in notebook when I parked it, I’ll have to check that notepad, it’s in Freightliner

    The last shirts I bought were 4$ each at Walmart.
    But some places I go require long sleeve and enhanced visibility
