    Inaccurate Mileage

    I worked for one company that paid by the odometer. We were home every weekend and when the mechanics checked out our truck they wrote down the mileage and turned it in. The boss subtracted the milage from the week before and that's how we were paid. Very few companies do it that way. I don't...

    Inaccurate Mileage

    Snow

    Another thing. The fastest way in summer isn't always the quickest way in winter. Sometimes you may have yo go out of route to go around the storm if you are dead set on running and don't want to park. I'd just assume park and wait it out.

    they make some stuff you can pour in your tanks if you think they are gelling up but I can't remeber what it's called. Also get some rubbing alcohol and mix it in with your windshield washer fluid.
