[QUOTE="Old International, post: 697314, member: 14916"] It had been that way for a LLLOOONNNGGGGG time. It wasn't going to get worse, and unless the DOT man crawled under the tractor with a tape measure, they would't find it. Plus, it is a BIG hassle to get a spare tractor.... They just don't exist in SC. They rob peter to pay paul, and you can't get a decent tractor unless you plan for it way in advance. The tractor I ended up with was a new International-less then 400 k on the clock. The problem was that the transmission woulndn't shift unless you used a sledge hammer on it, and the damn thing was so loud, you could hear me coming 2 days before I got there. The reguler driver was a smoker, and the cab reeked of smoke and tree air freshener. So I made the decison to watch it, and have it fixed at the next PMI. Of course, that all went out the window when the mech supervisor saw it, and forced Columbia to find a tractor for me. [/QUOTE]
