2 calls but nothing today.

Rented my first red box movie. I've been wanting to try it for a while, but the box intimidated me

Nice app for it, to help my fear of finding a drop off.

Actually, pretty good deal. $1.50 for DVD new releases, $2.00 bluray. Only downside is it's due back the next day by 9pm. But at that price, worth the effort, if needed, to drop it off.

Oh, plus rent 10 get one free

Heck, those prices would only get me movies from the 80's at my video store

Notice how none of those places are around anymore? I remember as a kid renting video games at the local none blockbuster store was $3.95 a night. That was more than my allowance

So I mentioned possible injector problem. Checked last night, 25 trouble codes just in CR common rail module.

Runs fine...go in service? :D

Good news is I didn't touch injectors yet. Bad news is...think I'm pulling enitire wiring harness. And its COLD out

Sprinter?

I always run some injection cleaner and mpg booster with my 2013 sprinter. Ever since I clogged them up once while back. Diesel sure is dirty here in US.

Lost the big long post I had for ya. Most of it was for companies that would road train you, but you had to get your CDL first.

Roehl is a great company to get started with. They pay ok for rookies, tho they have some quirks I don't like, like driver facing cameras. Their trucks are basic. No fridge in most, and no inverter. You'd have to buy/use their inverter, as they have a battery apu, from what I understand.

If your dad can get a grant for cdl training, there are many other good companies that'll road train. I think Roehl requires a year commitment for their training.

Check out the trucker's report, if you haven't already. Many guys there who will point your dad in the right direction. It was an invaluable tool for me to find the company I drove with. Take your time searching and investigating. I took a month, and don't regret that decision a bit.

Good luck to your dad!

Looks like I didn't lose the last post after all. LMAO.

Thank you for the info you nailed it on trucker report I used them back when I was in cdl school to weed out bad companies. I dunno why my dad doesn't wanna go to a similar route to me but he's wanting paid training ‍♂️

why pull the harness......Clear the codes and see what pops up next....you know codes pop all the time and go away again....don't be so eager to spend money, think it thru...

I hear their rate is down again. No more guarantees either (is that true?)
With Daryl and Jim out, who will be your voice there?

I couldn't get their insurance to stamp my registration renewal. Liked the miles and pay, but had to go out to keep driving.
Hear you on squeeking... No other way sometimes

Nowadays things Very Tight-lipped .... RRE is not replacing Jims position ...
No guarantees during July shutdown and from Thanksgiving until end of year ... i only had 1 week of guarantee in 2 years ... plenty of miles ...
Only rate drop (.5) last June

And Expediter Services no longer does any accounting for RRE
