    I know it was there during the morning pretrip. It was no longer there two hours later.

    I started putting a socket wrench on those whenever I hooked up to a trailer.

    Service recently? Someone stripped the hole and didn't say anything. It should have been leaking.

    AYE CARUMBA! That, my friend, is about as shocking as it gets. Makes you wonder what else the incompetent line worker did wrong. I swear, years ago, we never worried about half the things newer drivers need to be aware of, not so much for their complexity, but the bozo installing it.

    Boeing & production.....

    Its all about production numbers. Get it out the door & bring the next one on down. Quality doesn't matter we'll fix it later.

    The second morning I popped the hood and there was an airline sitting on top of the fuel pump. Nobody can identify where it came from.

    To be honest, Freightliner never had a stellar quality rating anyways......
