    Should I mention the Penske truck my supervisor loaded on a landall from a wreck and didn't measure it? I was in a 30 ton tator with tractor trailer in tow behind him. Cars on my left when it smoked a bridge. Only thing I could do was duck in a daycab pete.

    Luckily not Luckily it missed me. Went over and hit the side of a Saturn car. Below zero a Saturn turns to pieces. Fenders, doors everywhere. Had to buy the car in the end. No injuries thank the lord.

    I had a brand new set of Toyo steer tires put on and 7 days later this happens

    Hoods are hard to come by and it might take a bit to get it sorted out so here's the temporary repair. Don't laugh too hard, I've seen worse running around in Texas

    i guess I don’t care

    I am just telling it how it is not how people would like it to be

    I have probably hauled 50 new machines and every one of them went using tracking.

    I know everyone feels they are irreplaceable but truth is on this topic - not so much. Those MacroPoint systems feed into other systems for visibility downstream - again I don’t care what they do with it.

    and frankly, if they want to call my mom or one of my ex-wives with info from contacts - more power to them.

    If you pay my all in rate I don’t care if you video my pale white ### while I sleep in the bunk.

    but everybody gets to pick their own cross to die and if this is yours more power to you.

    There’s a hood sitting in a pasture outside of Rigby that would probably fit — would need to be painted

    Ouch. Do you think you hit something or did it just let go? One reason I'm leaning towards getting a 379 is the modular hood pieces. Not that I plan on ever having that experience again. Glad the only damage was from the tire and you're ok.

    If you folks down there think you have a real estate bubble, you should see the one we have up here. Its so crazy, I had to head about a half hour out of town to find anything fairly priced. Plus I've been wanting to get out of town anyways. This place is nuts. Not even allowed to park a freaking service truck in city limits.

    2004. So this is the later model plastic Metton hood. They're prone to cracking anyway so this is the perfect time to get a fiberglass hood

    I might end up painting the whole truck at this point

    It was a defective tire as far as I can tell.
