    @Big Road Skateboard yesterday ISP CVE was pulling in EVERY rig at the scale. Sounds like they were somewhat grouchy and taking it out on the drivers with inspections. Don't know if it was state wide.

    If I had a nickle for every time I sang that song, you would be listening to it on the jukebox.

    IDK. The scales are still closed south of Pocatello. I had to run up to Dillon, then down to Rexburg.

    I've never seen the Sage Junction scale doing any inspections, but there were two pickups there, and looked to have three trucks in there gettin it.

    By the time I got back to Sage Junction the SB side said closed. NB guys were still rolling through.

    The weather you reported before was spot on. Snowed most of the way, 32-35*, 20 mph winds.

    Rolling through Moab now at a very nicy 50* and sunny

    Bought a new leveling valve for the tractor yesterday, put it on and it failed to inflate the bags. Removed the line feeding the bags and not one ounce of air no matter where the arm was.

    Got another valve this morning and installed it, same exact problem!!!

    After double checking and doing a process of elimination I found the Schrader valves in the new leveling valve need more force to open than the old valve.

    I swapped the return springs from the old valve into the new valve and it works fine now, no issues at all. Bags are inflated just as they should be….

    Thanks. I see in the Google Maps it was fields in 2018. I created a database where I was making a list of the company and locations I had been and also started creating a database of other plants for future use and ...this wasn't on it. :) I see that Google map shows it exists, but the street level says it didn't in 2018...and I checked their news and see that they built it when I had made my database in 2023, and it probably wasn't listed when I did that. I'll have to add it now. Thanks. :)
