FINALLY!! A real truck. I think I'm rubbing off on Bronc!

I like that truck too. it has the old fashioned muffler guards. I hate those stamped steel ones on most trucks these days

I just spoke to my husband when I got home from work now he is being told he can run until December 21, 2007.

So we do not know if he will get called in early or not. Today he picked up and had a short 300 mile load that he will drop tomorrow. So I guess we will take it day by day.

I don't know how they are going to work things out at Davis with the trucks and loads.

Iowa we heard is going to be sold and the dispatcher is going to work from home.

Hey there .... your husband had called me the other night .... I didnt hear it ring and wasnt sure if he was sleeping or not so havent called him

Like I said .... not sure if that is the one I am getting or not .... just going to wait and see what is said when I get in the yard this week .... I learned many times before not to get hopes up or what not .... something always happens

Not sure what they are doing with loads and trucks and all that .... I know when I talked to them about this all they said it was going to be crazy there for some time as they tried to get things worked out and trucks done

Should be interesting when i get in there thursday

So bronc, when you sell your T600 you will be truckless for awhile or do you have access to a truck you can use for a short while?
