Ours has only turned itself on and off once. That silly stuff went on for about 20 minutes. No problems in that regard since. There do seem to a lot of problems for a system that was tested for a long time.

No fuss, just a good idea to know what is going on. I too remember winters like this being more the norm. It will be interesting to see if this continues. This is typical for a La Nina year. A rather strong La Nina to boot. Global warming? La Nina is caused by abnormal cooling of the Pacific Ocean.

It would be a more interesting count to see how many of this governments programs are no allowed under our Constitution. Good example, the ATF not allowing certain shotguns to be imported into the country because they have no valid sporting use. The Second Amendment has no basis in sporting...

Losing the trip pack would be nice. It must be the shop that did mine, a Freightlner in Belleville, MI. Left the old cable in the truck, put the new cable so it comes out right where it can get stepped on and left me with a leak. Needless to say I am not happy. FedEx is working to get it...

We are ready for these things, I just don't like them. It would be SO nice for the truck to go along with the replacement plans, just for once!! I am NOT putting down when the replacement date is for the tires!!! LOL!! I want to do that by MY rules!! :p Trusted friends are a valued source to be...

Thanks for the heads up on this one, Sue, we will have to keep an eye on it.

Yeah, we have it too. It's OK, not worth the extra money each week. Seems to me it should cost us LESS!! FedEx is no longer buying zillions of log books!! That should more than offset the higher Clink costs. Ours is in the way, have to find a way to mount it somewhere when I get home next...

You are right, I should not let it bother me. It really was not too bad, could have been a LOT worse. I just wish I could get it right. I had planned on new hoses for the sleeper and APU in December last year and they blew, on the road, in Oct. Maybe I should not put my plans in writing then the...

Yeah, I did get lucky, sort of. Still planning on changing the rear shocks when I get home. I always feel like I pay too much when out here.

Yeah, I know that. Could ate the steers with a shimmy that bad. My timing just sucks. My plan was to change all the shocks in about two weeks. So much for planed maintanence, eh?

Made our pick up early and headed out. Got a bit up the road and the truck started to shimmy like Little Eva in the side show!! Limped it into the TA in Duncan, SC. Bearings OK, tires, OK, wheel balancers, OK. Drive train, OK. Had them break down the steers, balance and rotate them. Changed...

Sitting near Richmond, VA. Deliver on Monday.

So much for the Constitution:mad:

Sent you a PM, hope it helps.

Turtle, I guess I did not make it clear. I did NOT mean you, or anyone, in particular. I maybe should not have "hung it" on your post, but then I goof stuff up all the time.

Part of the reason is that those numbers are private. Part of the reason is that it varies SO greatly. My numbers might sound very high to some. I am a TVAL truck. My rates are higher because of specialized equipment and/or qualifications that allow us to handle specialized freight. My costs to...

Sorry, we don't post numbers like that in here. I was a darn site better than the year before was!!

Turtle, I said WE. WE includes ME!! I singled out no one. I gave no passes to any one. We means EVERYONE. Lambaste positions all you want, politicians of ANY flavor are fair game. Just lighten up on the personal stuff.

Pay attention to the next time he is giving a speech. His mannerisms are very reminisent of a certain Italian dictator in the 1940's. Many of those striving for eighth grade comprehension levels have nice, big, shinny rings in there collective noses. Makes it easier for them to be "lead around...
