Like glowdotGlock, I'm also a truck driver. My uncle started with Prime. He stayed with them for 2 or 3 years, but recently quit. Yes, do NOT let them talk you into leasing or buying a truck through them. I warned my uncle about this, but he didn't take my advice. Now he's in the middle of a huge nightmare. DO NOT DO IT!

Are you sure you'll be getting the actual CDL in Missouri, or just the permit? They are not the same thing, as your current DL will need to accompany your MO CDL PERMIT while operating the truck.

Who is he? Where's he located?

You're probably right.

What about auto knives? Better to store open or closed?

I'll be! Obviously my shooting has sucked for all this time because my sights weren't black enough.  :doh: 

I enjoy visiting Bell Buckle, but not so much when they are hosting events with large crowds. I can't seem to get in and out of Bell Buckle without an ice cram and fudge stop at Bluebird Antiques.

Oh, they also have a recall on a front load washer, due to the drum flying out the top of the unit during final spin. I'm guessing it much like the video posted earlier.

There's only so much you can do in terms of safety features and interlocks.[/quote] Based on the information found on GE 's website, some models have a fuse. Mine is not equipped with a fuse. Not sure if that would have prevented this, though. Based on a quick Google search, at least two other GE washers have recalls due to issues with catching fire. Who knows the circumstances behind those fires.

Yeah, it's extremely frustrating. I'm on hold with GE's customer relations department. I'm wondering why there isn't a safeguard in place to prevent the machine from getting that hot, simply by being plugged in. The control button was in the "off" position, so who knows.

This keeps getting better.   The repair guy comes out on Monday and determines the issue is in fact the motor. He said he's going to order the part and get it replaced ASAP. I had already called Marcone's, and they said this motor could be picked up the day after placing the order. I figured the repair guy would have done the same thing. Not! It seems he was ordering the part through the warranty company in order to take advantage of their buying power. It will be next Wednesday, nearly two weeks after this fiasco began, before he can replace the motor. Not acceptable.   I've made several calls to the warranty company, and I've received nothing but conflicting stories. They are claiming the repair guy isn't/hasn't ordered any parts through them. During my last conversation with the warranty company, after telling them I could replace the motor myself, they informed me of a "buyout" option. They will send me the money, and I can fix it myself. I'm waiting for them to get back to me with the buyout amount. Just to be certain I can do this job myself, I decided to take another look at the motor. This was the first time I've been in the laundry room since before the repair guy looked at it. The first thing I noticed was a black/gray film on the lid of the washer. I then removed the front panel, only to see everything covered in what I first though was splatter from some sort of black grease. it didn't take long to realize it was actually soot.  Back up to Tuesday morning; the day after the repair guy was here. In passing, while I was in the middle of an important phone call, my daughter informed me she heard a loud noise during the night. No other information or explanation. Some neighbors had been setting off fireworks, so my preoccupied mind attributed the loud noise to that.  Fast forward to the point where I noticed the soot......The asshat left the washing machine plugged in, even after I made several mentions of a possible electrical noise and odor. So, the loud noise my daughter mentioned was likely the very same loud noise we heard when the machine went nuts in the first place. This time, we weren't there to shut it off, so it either caught fire, or something got hot enough to create ample heat to burn something to the point where everything in the laundry room was covered in soot. Doing what I should have done when she first mentioned it, I asked my daughter to further explain this loud noise she heard two nights before. That's when she mentioned an odor. Much like a teenager, she left out this bit of important information during the first conversation. After three calls this morning to the warranty company, I'm waiting to hear back from them.  :waiting:

Yes, they are replacing the motor.

:rock:  :rofl:  :rock:  :rofl:  Whirpool obviously used a better motor than GE.

They'll be luck to find someone who's willing to come get them for free, much less pay hundreds of dollars for them.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. You, along with his friends and family will be in our thoughts.

That's really cool. A customer of mine has one, and I believe it's the same one. He got it for a song, but didn't price it to me accordingly.

Hopefully mine are secure. 

I'm happy to see this. I stopped buying from them, due to their crazy shipping costs. I'll keep this in mind.

Doesn't surprise me. While you probably should have looked it over before the purchase, I'm surprised an employee of the shot didn't inspect it before placing it on the shelf.

The repair guy said the motor is fried.

I bet it's real. Several years ago, Wal-Mart called the Secret Service on me after I paid for my items with a $10 or $20 bill from 1934. I had just received the bill from an ATM before going shopping, and I never looked at the bills. It was as crisp as new, until the manager licked her fingers, then proceeded to rub the bill until it ripped. Anyway, after nearly an hour of inspecting, the Secret Service determined it was real and let me go.

Are you sure it's fake?
