    Make it west to the 203, DPF warning lights start flashing like crazy. Alright. Pull over onto the off ramp, find some small pavement space, start running a manual regen. Cool beans.

    After 10 minutes regen stops and shut down engine light pops up. ####. Of course they (the company) want me to drive it with the very clear "stop" light on the dash. Alright, whatever, it's their truck.

    Make my way back to the 208 and Dotties. Looks like I'll be swapping my load with another driver and I still don't have any way to patch my tarp, great. Can't wait.

    Small silver lining? My old fleet speced Cummins powered T660, derated due to above issues, outpulled left-lane-hogging-Chicago Volvos on the 44s small rollers. If you don't think that's funny #### you either drive a Volvo or have no sense of humor -- or both.

    Edit: why you should never buy fleet trucks right here. Their gonna send me back to St. Louis with a shut down immediately warning on the dash. I'd rank Meltons maintenance staff pretty high too -- they take care of our equipment -- but they won't pay for a tow. Figures.

    You are way to humble bout that thing. It takes a mofo to strut up an incline with a 594 boom on like I have heard yours will do. Ya I still know a few ol pipeliners
