I think she means it sux in terms of finding good-paying freight out of there.

I was thinking the same thing when I first read the thread. Air compressors even have a valve to let out water.

Some fuel filters have a drain on the bottom. You can drain a little off to check for water, much as you do on an airplane.

That is what I meant! I LOVE going to CO, OR, WA, CA and all the other western states....but just so happens freight is BAD in those states for the most part....at least for flatbed.

I hope I didnt offend anyone....

We lived in OR for about a year and it is one of the prettiest places I have ever been. But housing is almost unaffordable there and it costs so much to run OR.

Had a few shots of tequila last night and I thought she said I sucked. lol

Got all my taxes together and dropped off with my CPA. She's probably not going to depreciate my truck for last year due to all the other deductions I have so I'm probably going to get most of my taxes back that I paid while employed full time. I made a whole $2,000 last year. Actually made a lot more than that but didn't get the checks until January so they won't be counted.

Got my shocks put on but I still feel a vibration with no trailer on. I'm hoping the shocks fix the problem when I hook the trailer up.

So back out to that sink hole Colorado that seems to always suck me in. From there it's always to Texas, Oklahoma then back home. Like that movie Groundhog Day.

This time my truck is all packed, fueled and ready to go instead of rushing around at the last second.

Hey Steve, found this link on another site......have you looked into these? They claim to extend the life of your tires as well as reduce vibration.

The wheels are not out of balance. I have put over 20,000 miles and they are in perfect shape with no signs of wear at all. I've had 2 places that do nothing but tires look and they said if the wheels were out of balance they would show wear big time in just a short period of time.

I'll find out tomorrow when I head out if I still have the problem.

Did you checked air suspension height? As simple as it is, that could be the problem! :roll:

Have you checked your alignment? What about flat spots on the tires? If you have had to lock your brakes down, you could have put some flat spots on the tires. If so, that could be the problem. I would also check my spring hangars, air bags, and shocks to see if anything is loose.
