Im sitting in a hotel in Monroe Mi waiting for the dealer to get a water pump and a idler pulley can't beileve it takes 3 days and the prices they charge to change it is beyond me. Hate the fact that everytime I have something go wrong I'm nowhere near the house.

One good thing about having it towed this time, I signed up for breakdown type service at Landstar for 6 bucks a week for up to a 50 mile tow and other things .. Used it and it works.

for $116 a year you can get RV coverage with AAA and get towed up to 200 miles I think twice a yr and 50 miles after that.....ALSO you can claim "trip interruption" with that break down and get 2 nights at Motel and meal allowance reimbursed......

Story: IF I were a dispatcher and had 2 equal vans....You and someone who is far from home sitting in their van.....the guy out on the road would get the load first...I've heard dispatchers say this many times over the years...

That I could understand, almost. But in Akron 1 short run in 9 days is inexcusable.

Dropped ZANESVILLE OHIO from MIAMI, knocked the shine off last night. One T/T and car across the highway was a tad slick with real gusty wind in the hill's.
