Ahhh, what could be better then a cold day on a Sunday and the furnace stops working
Facing a $135 charge just to show up and $135/hr labor that starts when he shows up (I'm really in the wrong business), I set out to fix it myself.
A little flashing light code decoding and a youtube video later, I discovered a very simple fix that even I could not screw up. My flame sensor needed to be cleaned with some sandpaper. Total time for me 15 mins and furnace is back to humming along
If your furnace is one that has a hot surface igniter, having a spare is a good idea, not difficult to change.
Also if you have an exhaust blower motor, listen for changes in the sound it makes, they rarely go out without warning, making odd sounds will be your warning to get a new one. And they are not hard to change out either.

What Treadmill said: "Any time you want." If you aren't under load, time is pretty much whatever you make it. I have a friend that I just posted about(https://www.expeditersonline.com/forums/threads/vetting-is-a-stupiding-word.69609/page-2#post-810983). He's a math teacher in central Minnesota, long removed from the rez. Yet he still operates on Indian Time, some of the time. Indian Time should not be confused with time zones in India. A more accurate name would be Early American Time Zone but that would be politically incorrect.
Obviously he can't operate on Indian Time when teaching. Um, in Minnesota, maybe he can. When I set a time to meet him in the summer for a canoe trip, he shows up on the same day at least, but that's about as close as it gets. If I wasn't an expediter I think I could get rid of my watches and clocks and go on Indian Time. OVM, you must surely be familiar with Indian Time. If not, look into it. When you retire Indian Time is the way to go!

If Indian time means wake up when your eyelids flutter open... I'm already on it!

Is that a tuna in your pocket, or are you just happy sashimi?
It is, good idea.
Already been making odd sounds for last two years. I'd like to replace blower. Last guy who looked at it said not to put another $1 into it. It is old, inefficient, and does need replacing. Was suppose to be last summers project, but it never happened

Think about starting at 2,000lbs. Most carriers can keep you running at that without the wear and tear on your vehicle.
Now Booked for 5pm pickup... 20 mile dh ...

Don't pay it! Tell them you're not an expediter - you're a broker and the most they can have is $95Ahhh, what could be better then a cold day on a Sunday and the furnace stops working

The problem with that much weight is loading it properly. The 6' rear overhang makes it a challenge. These Transits get squirrely with too much weight behind the rear axle. Anything over 400 lbs. I have pushed up as far as possible. I have a 20' tow strap that I loop behind the lead pallet as it is pushed in. I also have a 10' chain.
If they don't have any runs, it doesn't matter what is the rate.The longer you stay on the left coast the better 65¢ looks

Enjoying great weather (55-60F, occasional rain, spending time with family).
Load will come in time.
Stay warm.
