At the shop, rear end checks out ok, a little slop, but nothing out of the ordinary.Found out that the rear tires, 2 month old michelins, mind you, are junk, out of round! Going back to Belle after this. Having the u-joints replaced out of caution.gotta keep up on things, better and cheaper to do it this way, than to be on the side of the road, under a load.

October..what a nice month! .95 cpm, all miles,$1.25 a mile,avg loaded mile pay.Awesome! All mile pay is more than most companies pay for loaded mile!Reduced food spending as well, on a per day average! Alot of financial trimming to do yet.

When I worked at Firestone...3 main causes for steel belts warping...overloading tire load range or under inflation and running at high speed or any combination of any of the above....think of your rotors when they over heat...they warp...tires will do the same thing...afterall they are steel.....the steel gets red hot and heats up the inner layers of the tire of which the belt can shift within the plies....

That is why state trooper cars run with teflon belted tires....stronger and not prone to running hot...

Jenny...what's froo froo...never heard that expression?
Lol. from Biggby coffee. I get a teddy bear which is caramel and butterscotch with skim milk and 3 shots of espresso. Nick gets a decaf mocha.mocha with skim milk and no whip cream. I don't like plain coffe:(e. They also have these amazing dried bing cherries covered in chocolate and then a candy shell. I indulge when we go there.
