    Thats also a issue. But the bulbs just arent bright the output isnt good. Or maybe its normal for the KW. The Freightliners I've driven light up the world with just low beams

    I know these new bulbs cannot be touched directly. If oils from someone's hand gets on them, It will de-rate the effectiveness. Pull the bulbs out and see if the glass looks clear and clean. My T680 was fine.

    I'm Trying something way out of the box this week. I'm going back to my local roots. We seemed to have started running out of a distribution center for Tractor Supply Co. The loads are pretty much all multi stop but they are paying as much as 600-700 for 150-200 total miles some more some less. I snagged a 55 mile run for 300. I took three of these loads to see if I like em. If the stores unload me quick and they are always available I may just keep running those loads for TSC until they end up dedicated or something. All three total 431 (not including deadhead) and Pay 1578.
    I have Delivered to TSC when i worked at Coca Cola and they seemed to always meet me at the dock and check in product immediately. I mean that's the receivers job right?
