Aw , thanks man, I'm about 5 minutes away, but should be done in another hour or so. I appreciate the offer. Glad it went out there... close to dealership. I was gonna stop at the rest area on 57 instead! Woke up this morning to hear the "growl" from under the hood... looked up front to see that nice red battery light glowing. Hit up my dealership list, drove over here, they got it right in. Seem to be good people, didnt hesititate... when I told them I was under load, they rushed it in.

No problem just figured sense I was local I could help someway. Glad they getting you back on the road ASAP seems like a great shop.

Dispatch just called might have something heading to Memphis for a great rate picking up 50 miles from here.

We have a really good tire program. Just check with Vince, George or Brian. If you have a specific brand and model let them know. Most of the guys are pretty happy with the savings.

I have all the way up to 07 tractors, but they are all preemission motors. Waited the changes out and now ordering the new ones. Would never recommend a 2008 to 2010. Lots of motor issues. I went with the new Detroit DD 15's. Bad side is I have to start worrying about def.
