First tank down sense the repairs seems like it maybe gets better fuel economy. Engine sounds better under acceleration. Currently all fault lights are off except bulb which i can't find right one that fits the tag light. So looks like the big girl is happy and running good. Gonna take maybe two days or less off once i deliver and head home to get some stuff done

Could it be a case of a load being too heavy, large, etc for you're van, but were there others behind you that it would fit into?

When it is slow, and we sit a lot, it is real easy to think the worst thoughts.Stay positive and focused.

It was a joke. I've been doing this too long to think I'm being dispatched around and am well aware of the various and sundry reasons why I would be dispatched around, if that were happening. I'm also aware that if a load won't fit on my Sprinter then I'm not really being dispatched around at all.

It was also a commentary on the dis-incentive to accept short loads in and around Detroit, because you end up being rewarded with a reset of your LL and LA and you go to the bottom of the board, 19 of 19. <snort>

Yup. Was 13/13 now 8/10. I know part of ours is trying to stay within 300-400 mile radius.
