    Yep, I’m in a different position, first I’ve been here a long time, second I do a lot of my own repairs. However I’ve proven myself and it’s a small company. That being said there’s still times I tell them what it’s doing and leave them alone.

    Im perfectly happy with the T600 Im in. But I want to buy the 386 Pete they have sitting. It needs a dpf delete which we've already talked about doing.

    For now though, I'll just run what I got till it either stops or they bring me back in. As someone that has a love of all things automotive it killse to run something that is broken. Knowing that every mile I run it, its more and more damaging to the engine. They just spent a bunch of money having this truck redone, why throw it all away on a minor issue?

    I dont understand rich people.

    Five minutes to spare.

    Made Twin Falls Oasis. Took a longer nap than I wanted in Baker City other than that was a easy uneventful day. Lots of open deck wagons flying flags — nice to see.

    Managed a whopping 5.2mpg between Arlington, Washington and Boise, Idaho. Not too bad considering I’m 79200 gross and you gotta go over basically four substanstial grades... not bad for a 550k mile ISX 455/1650 id say anyway. Was expecting 4’s :)

    I’m thinking I’ll play on I80 tomorrow... we will see what I feel like after looking at the weather. Running down through Moab only adds 30 miles... but it’s hard miles compared to I80 if the weather isn’t gonna be bad out that way.

    Now your story changes like the weather.

    Ever notice how it's always something? Bad trucks, bad boss, bad mechanic, bad dispatcher....but you're the common denominator in all these...

    Yeah, I know...

    now I sound like an a s s hole, don't I?

    Joe Biden seems so authoritative, yet extremely sincere at the same time. Very convincing. He’s admonishing COMMUNICATION with home invaders. The whole ‘rack the slide on the shotgun’ or firing a warning shot is communication.

    Ever been hunting? Do you communicate that you are going to shoot? Ever?
