I have a feeling that with my PrePass I need to be right on the money with mileage or at least very close.

There are 2 round rubber things on either side and both are blowing air big time. I'm waiting for the service guy to show up any minute from the local town down the street. I'm lucky on this one for sure!!! When I got here I replaced the other air line and all 4 glad hands so everything is brand new now. That DOT guy grabbed all of my lines in Nevada, I'm surprised it didn't let go then!!

I wonder if Steve is Novacane in disguise as a wealthy care-free hobby-trucker?! C'est la vie. Entertaining reading none-the-less! 8)

Great thread Steve! I am glad to see everything is working out for you out there. As the son of an O/O, I fully understand the great challenge you have taken on in this adventure. I have been around my father long enough to know that there are many challenges to this profession - even for the most seasoned drivers, and i find it very interesting that someone with your background would even attempt this! I am glad to see that you have some of the great veterans on this board helping you out at times. Seems like you have a lot of patience and determination, and I am sure you will be successfull. Just remember that experience is gonna be your greatest asset out there, and keep building that confidence and take the time like you have been doing to BE SAFE!
I have to admit that I have been following your whole experience here, and alot of the time I have been quite nervous for you. Just be sure to keep things manageable and KEEP US UPDATED!!!

How 'bout another new rule: Don't hijack a good thread! Start your own.
How about that HE started comments about a Contractor in Iraq and I said it was BS. It's called commenting on a post started by the originator of this Thread.

Hello all. I'm done posting. I'm fed up with a handful of people in here and no control. Many of my posts have been deleted. Maybe some day we'll get moderators who can control the out of control people instead of being ones themselves. I'm sure this post will be deleted also.
I'm doing fine and everything is cool. I'll miss telling my stories. Good luck to all the newbies and wannabes. You can do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
