. didn't figure they'd let me change it til the contract is officially in my name.. Oh well, I'm number 2 here now.. saw Nick and Jen still down the row.. lunch time at Arby's, then hopefully get out. Dale

Nah, I don't like to run at the "listed" weight limit on this..especially not above.. even if legal, just doesn't feel right. Too wobbly. Probably need to have safety drop it a lil bit.. I'm sure it was weighed with a skinny guy LOL. Dale

I figured you got that TX run ... Caryn called to double check my weight limit, then I heard phone ring outside my window lol... looked out to see you leavin. Dale

Finally got my new blower after 2 tries... sure enough when I got to the mechanic this morn, they had one waiting... hooked it up, hit the switch, awkward silence, followed closely by few choice words from mechanic which would read as ************ if I posted them here! ... nada, zilch, not...

All it did was add the email.and make it the default. After reading about it, I went into my options, and my regular email was still there, just as secondary. Couple clicks made it the default again. No biggie. Dale

Picked one up in Cincinnati, tomorrow morning deliver close to... wait for it... the yard LOL.. but it's what I needed, and I didn't have to bug anyone to find it! Need to get up there to get this blower motor replaced.. supposed to be HOT around the US of A the next few days. Wonder if Matt...

Just FYI, if you are laying over in the Warren, Sterling Heights area, according to a friend of mine there a tower was blown down by high winds over the weekend. Calls are being missed, messages delayed, etc due to shifting the call volume. Sprint estimated another 2-3 days before rebuilt...

[COLOR=#333333] Driver2, Cutting those out sure limited your income.. but as an ex-FedEx van driver, I know what you mean.. it can get rough. Thank God some of my best runs now come out those areas :) Best of luck in whatever you decide.. as others have said tho.. as an experienced driver...

Well, good news I found out this morn.. the blower motor was replaced a short time before I started driving this Sprinter, so it's still under warranty.... just gotta stop in the shop next time I get close to Sterling Heights. Back in service, waiting on the $$ call :) Dale

Thanks for that link. I've got a cousin on there. Dale

Yeah, I know it is for the heater and a/c both, but I sure was needing it for the a/c when it let out it's death scream lol. I just about stood straight up in the seat! In mere moments went from chirps, to whistle, to scream to vibrating death rattles lol. I wasn't sure WHAT was coming apart...

By the way.... an A/C blower makes a surprising amount of noise when it self destructs in the dash! Sounded like the bearings went out or something. Dale

LOL... eh, I try to keep the van loaded and not me :) Emptied out 2 doors down from the yard, tried to get another scanner, already out of them LOL.. next week hopefully. Now at Sterling Heights Dodge for a LOF from the friendly folks here, then headed home. Having a family get together...

You learn something new every day..... Note to self... showing up at GM Flint in a van... bad idea. Having 2 skids, one of which needs pulled with a strap... worse idea. Ahem, dock folk sweet talked, van unloaded, outta here! Dale

Forgetting any personal views as to the morality, or the legality... it's the plain 'icky' factor when they hop truck to truck. (yes, icky is a hillbilly word lol) Dale

Good points Rich... gotta wonder what life choices lead someone to think that was their only option. I'd never be rude to them, just no thanks. Dale

Well, Joe made up for the wait! Going down into VA by morn to pick one up delivering to Flint tomorrow night! Paid well enough to make the dh covered too :+) Dale
