I understand your frustration falligator i had a 40&85 mile load back to back this week that was fun :eek:

I've been running short loads all week. At least they pay the bills. Had a pick-up last night for a load of championship hats going to Oakland California. I arrived early and was greeted by the owner of the company who politely explained to me that if the 49'rs lose, the load is a no go. The football game decided my fate; and as fate would have it, the 49'rs lost and my wallet lost about 300 dollars in net profit.

That's cool though, I hurt my leg really bad 3 months back and it is getting bad again. Fell off the truck and never went to the docs and now it's getting to the point where I might go and get it looked at. It is what it is. Maybe i'll get another air-port load to Vegas!

Did my 4th load this week between KC and Lincoln!

But, broke down and was towed 171 miles to Sprinter dealer in KC!

First he took me to delivery point and I got unloaded!

Even newer vans break down!

Hope everything is okay with the van. We keep looking at the Sprinter and just can't pull the trigger because of photos like this one. Go down town to Arthur Bryants and get some good BBQ. You will be back on the road in no time.

The tensioner seized and tore up all the belts!

Of course they do not have one in stock, so they will push the van out and I will be spending the evening in their parking lot.

Tow bill was $689.00!!!

Not real happy at this point in time.ImageUploadedByEO Forums1327436279.441308.jpg
