(23,973 posts)done much before the snow flies. Running reefer, this time of the year is big money time.
Did it back in June when I took a week off, had her looking right, but the last week I took off in September I was too busy doing stuff around the house to get to the truck.
When I'm in town on Sundays, the owner of the business a buddy of mine works for lets me park behind their warehouse, huge place, lots of parking, nice industrial park, nobody wandering around, instead of at the shop where I lease space and have another trailer parked.
The other place is 23 miles away, so if I'm just in for an overnight it's easier just to park a mile and a half from the house at my buddy's workplace than a half-hour away, and catch a ride from one of my kids or a buddy.
His boss bought a nice pressure washer/steam cleaner, they have all the supplies, and when we have the time we wash his ride, then I get the same treatment. Much more thorough than the Beacon, except it takes forever to rinse it right, just not enough water flow. Dem damn spots...
I give the boss and his wife a nice little gift every Christmas.
My buddy drives daycab for them, he gets to drive tractor and trailer into the building through the roll-up door, turn around and park inside overnight after getting a nice clean-up.
That Detroit would look real good in a glider, the pre-EGR's are getting snapped up by Fitzgerald and that other guy in Corvallis, I think it is.
