    Been there myself. Had a machine to pick up, got it loaded, and wouldn't fit through the door.
    They ended up saying "Well we wanted a bigger door anyway', and proceeded to hire concrete saws to make it fit through!
    In Winslow for a day or so, can not deliver until Wednesday 8am in Phoenix area. Then off to Long Beach.

    They're getting much better, but I'd wager there's some of you that got a good laugh at a rookie DOT whose determination to see your load cross his scale nearly cost him his job.

    Today was one of those days that we all fear of happening. If I am still alive tomorrow, I shall celebrate. It all starts with a disagreement between the digestive system and food. Trapped in a truck and experiencing a slow death.

    "TMI, driver, TMI!!!"

    Yeah, thanks for being there for me.

    'Darkness imprisoning me.
    All that I see, absolute horror
    I cannot live. I cannot die....

    Please God help me!'

    Metallica understands. "One" is more appropriate at this time than Frampton's , "Do you feel like I do? "

    Here's the problem with the dealerships and engine manufacturers: the have to put a guvment approved ECM tune in your rig. That's never the optimal tune. There are certain things that engine tuners can do to optimize what you have. Torque, redline, injector flow, and removing the soft cruise.

    WARNING: If your soft cruise was on, you were running 70-75 % on the cruise. Turn it off, you're going to get 100%. Feels like your throttle is stuck and you're having a Toyota moment. Quite disturbing until you become accustomed to it. They can also rework your jake settings.
