(a 3 inch screw in the thread) 3 hours and $181 later, I moved. Now sitting in front of the TA Ontario, CA. NO load as yet and at the bottom of the barrel. I should KNOW better than to come out here.

So a few milies later I was driving down 90/94 and at mm71 I seen his van in the median turned on his side with the lights still on.

One of Murphy's laws of trucking; Any flat on a set of duals will be on the inside tire. Jerry Lee

I hope so too - did you notice if the van was CC, or was it Ground?
