When still with a co-driver, we were coming out of Canada at Detroit. As we waited in line we decided we'd use the facilities after we went thru the booth. For the first time we actually had all of the paperwork right and were told we could leave. Automatically we turned right, parked, and...

Semi Trailer Parts Retractable step assemblies I'm on the short side, so this was the first goody I bought for my truck.

Thanks for putting up the link, Greg. As a solo driver, it isn't possible for me to do a proper inspection of the slack adjusters. Dingle refuses to go under the truck as I depress the pedal. This is a way for me to check my brakes during pre-trips and as I drive. The light shows green...

If you feel confident enough to take the driving test most third party test sites have a truck available for testing. It costs around $100-$150 to use their truck. You might want to ask what kind of truck they have. The first place I went to test, they had an old street department truck...

Oh, boy, shopping, my favorite subject. In the order I got them 'cause they're too cool to rank. XM radio Back steps for easy access Telesteps ladder Rice cooker Save-a-load load locks Electronic brake inspector.

Since I don't get on the CB at truck stops, I turn your suggestion around. I knock on van doors offering extra showers. Or send a pm here, if I see an EO member.

I think so. From what the Cummins filtration people said, I stumbled onto the solution. I'm knocking on wood and watching the gauge closely. :)

I agree with Piper about Michigan. I thought the purpose of their horrible roadways was to sell more cars. The Indiana tollroad is absolutely disgraceful since being turned over to the private company.

If I wasn't behaving myself, where I could go with that... :eek:

You mean the pink and purple lettering on the tires doesn't count?

Cheri, you are sooo right. I figured up the results of my shopping spree. I left MATS having purchased, been given, and won about $2100 worth of products. I spent $1150. The only frivolous items were some really cool tunnel chicken lights. Well, and the extra $5 a piece to get pink load...

Welcome Ariel, I'll pass on the advice that was given to me. At every opportunity practice your pre-trip, OUT LOUD. Don't be embarrassed. You'll do better if you portray confidence. Remember to turn the key on when doing your airbrake test. :o I don't need to tell you where that suggestion...

Save-a-load. You can find them at saveaload.com. I'd suggest telling LJ that I sent you. You might be able to get the show special pricing.

Leo, loved the buttermilk pie. Thanks again for your great contribution. I must say to the parking lot bunch thank you for the great fellowship and hours of laughter. Nick, thanks for the electrical work. The health walk was great, I won a "Road Cookin" cookbook. Do you trust me to cook for...

Okay, here's my favorite picture from the parking lot. If healthy is your goal, rabbit food your method, here's the result. :p :p

You and me both. ;)

Here's an update. Talked to Cummins Filtration today at MATS. It seems that the drop in oil pressure is not unheard of. They blamed it on changes in oil formulation and ultra low sulfur fuel. The last time I changed the oil filter I'd changed from the LF3000 to a LF9009. I was told that my...

Now that's my kind of breakfast :p

Sounds good, both Susie and I are going to be aiming for Wednesday, too. I like the idea of having access to electricity. That way we can bring out a bunch of rice cookers and have even more selections. We have to eat enough to fuel ourselves for the health walk, right?
