ovm can you put a good word in for me buddy oh pal
I live near Los Angeles California. It takes me 2-3 days to get home and around 400 dollars in fuel. OVM's got nothing on me. I have been figiting to urge to go home for weeks now. In two more weeks i'll have been out here on the road for 9 weeks straight "in service 95 percent of that time."
I'm trying to push myself to stay out here until right before thanksgiving, but i'm already beginning to have a mutiny with myself aboard my own truck. Also, every time i look out my passenger side window I can see a man standing on my mirror, so I try not to look to my right when I am on an all night run!!
I feel your pain...but I wouldn't want to live anywhere else....I just accept my drive as part of the job....
Keep in mind these local guys will drive 2-300 miles home every week or 2....so it kinda evens out...kinda...
Yup, you are right. If I could drop 60-100 bucks a week to drive home, i'd be home every weekend. But I figure if you soend 2 months on the road at a time and then go home for two weeks it all averages itself out. I also prefer my location in California because if I decide to take time off in the winter time when the midwest is all iced up and miserable, i can head west for a more suitable 70 degree climate. I have my summers when the midwest drivers have to endure their winters.
I never got my free pot roast when I was up in Waterford SD. One of these days you and Juju are going to wake up and my van is going to be idling in one of your corn fields and I will have a sign on the window saying "will cut the grass for pot roast!" lol.

Yup. I'm sittin at the old house still. and was watching some preseason football earlier. Browns vs. Packers was contemplating switching to the steelers/lions game to see how that rookie sue did. or however you spelled his name.
Without all facts it is called and assumption and you know what they say about that.
But Aberdeen is on the "other" side ...*LOL*
Go west on US 12 to Mobridge cross the Missouri R...then you are in the best there is...
Based on the facts that we have been given, it's not an assumption to say that it wouldn't have taken as long if parts were in this country instead of on the other side of the world. The dealers screw up wouldn't have been nearly the issue it was if parts could be had in a matter of days, not weeks.
Some time passes between a design being finalized and production beginning. This time should be used to produce and warehouse parts here.
You know, as I recall this isn't the first time parts have been an issue for the Sprinter. When they first came here I remember people going in for the first oil change and being told oil filters weren't available.
Staying with the thread topic, I'm picking up in Laredo this afternoon to go to Shreveport.
