    No I changed the compressor a week ago last Saturday. Started running low oil pressure this Monday. Took a week for the debris to start causing problems.

    So they stack up to $1200..?

    Alright @kylefitzy how much did ya get? :D:D

    I remember Simone talking to us about the superloads in orientation. Everyone kinda gawked when she said 20’ wide...

    “Oh don’t you boys worry we have onsight moves before you’re on public roads”

    As if that makes it better :rolleyes:

    We do bigger than 20' but those aren't as regular. These local 20's are multiple times a week and on average there's at least one on the road somewhere between OK, TX and GA every week.

    Widest I've done working here was 24' and that was through the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We used to have a weekly 22 wide in Dallas but that program has been completed.

    With all that said, I'd take a 22 wide across the country quicker than the 16-17 highs, hate those, they're a nightmare. Fortunately our main customer decided to haul those laying down on a flatbed at 16 wide instead of standing up on a RGN and being over 17' high.

    Well put.

    I might add that that was and still is one of the selling points of Delaware......no state sales tax. When people come from places that are paying $6000, $8000 and more a year in property taxes, no state sales tax is pretty attractive.

    Vegetables on top of a steak... I’d disown her if it wasn’t up to par.

    Fortunately it’s fantastic so we will let it slide...

    I hate Minneapolis and I dislike elogs. For 50 minutes of driving stolen by rush hour today. Nobody seemed in a hurry to get anywhere today, except me.

    Only made the Millston rest area, 20 miles short of the Tomah Kwik Trip and the China Buffet. Oh well, that just means more money to spend at the chrome shop in Lake Station tomorrow.
