    Did that deer do much damage Pete? My buddy hit one late last winter, cost him over 7 grand. He now has a moose bar bigger than mine!

    On the plus side I got a call from Derrick today trying to catch up with what I was doing.
    On the minus side we may have lost at least one SDV dude due to one of the women in the office dropping the ball on a delivery for him.

    If it is just him however it won't hurt my feeler too bad. His stuff is always a nail biter to make the cutoff and late in the day as well.

    Yep they do try to take care of their trucks. Oh the DOT's brake check machine, is a bunch of crap!! A few months ago they set up on US-400 near Severy. One of our new KW T-800s was cited for defective brakes. The truck might have had 30k miles on it. If there are things that we must purchase on the road, they'll reimburse us. However things like wanting LED taillights or marker lights, hubcaps, that's on us. They're extra goodies so he's not going to buy them. There are things that get put off, and that could be better. They're not perfect, but I think they do a good job overall, especially having just 2 shop mechanics.


    I thought I'd be camping out yesterday, however managed to make the runs and back home, with .25 left on the clock..

    Ontario CA. Heading for Oxnard ca later tonight once the rush hour traffic has eased up. Easy day today, tooled on down from Barstow, dropped off in Chino then over to 3 sisters for a trailer washout and a chat about Vegas strippers with the guy in the shack. His conversation choice , not mine by the way LOL. I had to stop him when he wanted to show me "something" on his phone ! Then on over to the TA for a shower and breakfast. Was all said and done by 11am.

    I rolled in home 20:10 after a WAY non-typical Friday! I had stopped at Lowes to try and get a better fix for the pin on my hideaway rollover gooseneck hitch. It can't back all the way out but it gets out of one side and causes problems. I think I have something that will hold it.

    Only had 8 delivery tickets. That's what I mean about non-typical!
