    It’s done 3 parked regens, when the check engine light and def light goes to flashing it allows one, if just the engine light comes on, it’ll do a rolling regen.
    Doesn’t smoke like it’s on fire going down the road as some I’ve seen.

    Last parked regen was 27 minutes, then 5 days before that was 42, then a around the first of last month was 45 minutes.
    I’m figuring Nox Sensor, they’ll get it figured out.

    Gotta wait til after 8 to call about swapping tags, I don’t see the point of paying 1750/year for that one to sit parked, now it’s just me running, other guy that was running with me moved back to Oklahoma.
    So sold the old international, just got the 2 trucks, other trailer was leased so I turned it back in.

    Added KW back to commercial insurance policy Friday, but hadn’t made up mind about Apportioned tags, it’s got Arkansas tags, good anywhere in the state, if you go out of state, you gotta buy trip permits.
    Which I’ve done, but they’re only good for 72 hours, some states are ridiculous on prices.
    Mo$21(cheapest I’ve found) KS($75)
    TN($130) MS($25)

    Nobody wants to go to Tampa, or Fresno...

    This is true, but the rate was good enough that it paid for DH to load and back out towards Atlanta.

    Used to get a lot of Chip loads out of Kathleen GA back to Memphis, used to have a good rate, though depending on which side of the same building you unloaded meant the difference of 30 minutes unload, or with the grouchy lady 4 hour unload.

    As of today my truck and trailer are both paid off. Gonna make it a little harder to get myself motivated to get back out.

    We got here half an hour before they opened, 1 guy in dock, 1 waiting in street. Already planning today as a loss, so have Mike getting his 34, and I'll start us towards GA when we unload. As soon as his 34 finishes I'll be going off duty, and we'll complete a rolling 34 on way to next load. Have a couple we are looking at for tomorrow, just waiting on brokers.

    It shouldn’t.
    Now is when your time comes into play, you can put a little money back as no 1000$ truck payment per month and no 750$ trailer payment.

    This one was a LP thru Lone Mountian, it was actually the best deal I could find. Dealers with conventional loans wanted a lot more for simular trucks once interest was factored. All in it was $62,800 over 42 months.
