Be careful out there gang the snow has arrived.
Just want to give a shout out to John for providing the first class amenities that he does for us at his cost...the beautiful drivers lounge, laundry and shower facilities as well as the truck wash, and the shore power hookups are so appreciated...Thank you!
Shout out to Tom and the shop crew for taking good care of the yard and the snow again!
Anyone care to share their thoughts and feelings on the new monthly training module?
I've been told it is rather extensive, with no points being rewarded. Just what I have heard, as I have not taken it yet.

I sure can't wait until it is done so I can start driving it..so much to do yet....this is at my friend's window tint shop..he is the absolute best at window tinting...check out his website! East of Cleveland, in Painesville Ohio....

Be careful about how dark and where you have tint placed....
Oh, no! They are 2.5% double tinted! Nobody can see in, and I can't see out! Even the windshield and headlights are tinted, completing the "stealth" look!....lol..

Wait is that a car from cannon ball run?
It's from the movie " night shift" starring Henry Winkler and Michael Keaton, Shelly Long, a very funny movie, I thought. Lol..
I use 50% window tint on the side windows.. Cuts the rain, snow and sun glare without reducing night vision. And is legal in most states. The windshield tint strip i use 5%, going no lower than my line of vision. DOT regs say no lower than the sun visor when fully raised. The new thing getting done is the whole windshield getting tinted. Even though illegal, many are getting it done at the shop, once a waver is signed by the customer. The interior color greatly affects how dark a tint looks as well. The darker the interior, the darker the tint looks. My Grand Marquis has 50% tint, but because it has a tan interior, it really doesn't look tinted, as opposed to my van, that has grey interior, that has 50% tint.
Van has been running beautiful since my friend worked on it. After unloading Saturday, gassed up, showred up, Sunday started the van up just to warm it up, and make sure everything is good, and it wouldn't start, just crank, crank, and crank...discovered no power to the inertia switch, which powers the fuel pump,, which gets power from the relay. Relay was good. Couldn't find anything. Was going to get it towed to Ford on Monday morning. Tried to start it, and it fired right up. Drove home with no issues. Ordered 2 new relays, one for the fuel pump, one for the PCM. MAY Ford mechanic friend is supposed to look at it so I can get back to work.

Ugh relays.....
Yes we are still rewarding points, just the points are just rewarded at the end of month instead of after completion.

Thank you. I'll pass this along to others that are in upheaval.
Dunno. I never received anything. Checked the spam folder, nothing there. .Blame it on Trump...lol..
A real cool place in Cleveland to wait for a load. The E72nd st exit, on 90, just east of dead man's curve. Restroom, phones, garbage cans, very peaceful. Was my favorite spot to wait for local loads back in 89..very relaxing.
Great opportunity for Load One drivers, their children or grand children:
