Enjoying the day at Kensington Metro Park in Milford, Mi.
Summer in Michigan...... It just doesn't get any better than this.

June idle chit chat and banter and freight hauling
- Thread starter fastman_1
- Start date
Sitting at ups here in Miami and the customer doesn't know the pick up numbers so I can take my freight. Patently waiting to hear back from dispatch...
THAT IS NOT MOST DEF NOT MADE IN USA!!!!!!!!!! GOTA BE CHINA OR MEXICO NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!! THAT CAST IRON SKILLET WAS NOT FORGED IN HE USA!! NO WAY!!!
After about a week without the AC, I didn't feel like crawling under the DATSUN NV2500. So, I had the service shop run the AC diagnosis to make sure it wasn't just the burnt AC coil. I was hoping that he can just replace the coil and I'll be on my way.
The mechanic presented me with the findings. He said the whole system need to be replaced and the estimated repairs came to about $1645.
Startled, not because of the repair costs, but as he was explaining, it appears that his nose was growing longer. I politely declined his services and said, we the expediters don't make that kind of money. I Left the shop, hopped into the van and while adjusting the rear view mirror, I noticed that..... my nose, it got a little bit longer too!
Lol....Lol...
UPDATE: Yesterday, called the wrecky yard and found a complete AC compressor unit for $80. Bought the compressor and a can of refrigerant from Auto Zone. Replaced the compressor and recharged the system. DIY took about 2 hours. Recheck the AC this morning.....still cold as ice!

We have had good luck in EP in the past with XPO. Two days and three bid board no goes, company offered the move.
Now booked for McAllen in the morning, rolling the dice!
Previous 2 times here I got loads out of El Paso, one to Dallas, another to Laredo.
Lunch at the park was bacon and eggs. Used my grill, hey, it worked. The eggs were fried in the bacon fat! YUMMOO!Enjoying the day at Kensington Metro Park in Milford, Mi.

Note to Phil (ATeam) ....... just joking.
IMO....I would have chosen to sit the 3rd day then maybe take the paid move offer....2 days you are being a bit impatient Bill....Itchy gas pedal syndrome?.....LOL.....Good Luck...
do you have to change anything out to be able to convert?
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to all my EO Friends and Family!!!
Only problem with that is if he didn't take the move, he would have had to wait til Monday night to get a move again, and we had no one else in Dallas...I was headed there from Laredo or about to when they got me the Brownsville to El Paso run.IMO....I would have chosen to sit the 3rd day then maybe take the paid move offer....2 days you are being a bit impatient Bill....Itchy gas pedal syndrome?.....LOL.....Good Luck...
I believe hose's and seals, I'm researching it now
We can wait for a load and be comfortable, (for a van) but there were more vans at the J then showed on Sylectus. The forecast for freight was grim as well.IMO....I would have chosen to sit the 3rd day then maybe take the paid move offer....2 days you are being a bit impatient Bill....Itchy gas pedal syndrome?.....LOL.....Good Luck...
Watched a good Saturday night short track show last night, now loaded for McAllen, TX.
