January in Texas did not start off with a bang, that is for sure. :( But, it seems to be clearing itself up.

Dispatched for one. If all goes as planned, I will be dining at my favorite Amish buffet tomorrow, yum yum :)

I can't believe it. About 3 1/2 hrs before I leave home for my pick up. I wake up cold and shivering, I thought I was getting sick. Turns out the furnace in not working :mad: Emergency service in route hopefully a quick fix :(

Update: Furnace Igniter was the problem, all fixed. Thankfully didn't have to be pulled off the load :) Also with the temp at -6, I'm really glad it happened before I left.

Mission accomplished, they did a pretty good job with the snow.

Ahhhh...back "home" in beautiful Taylor. Get the qualcomm fixed tomorrow and hopefully get the 'big boy' graphics Friday. That's good for a pay raise! :)

Well this has been the way my last couple of days have gone. Started Two days ago when I got stuck in a dock at a shipper and had to have tow truck pull me out. Then a nice officer from the State of Michigan didn't like where I had items mounted on my dash. Then this morning rear door pops lose as I'm backing in to the dock for a sweet paying load. Oh well dinner at the hotel tonight along with a adult beverage and I will start over after the truck fixed

Ouch! Sorry for your bad luck. How does a door just pop off?

I had rear door open up like that on me when I drove semi and popped right off. Not a fun experience :(
