I know they don't hire out of florida because because of no freight base down there but we go throught AZ and even deliver in toleson AZ around the phoenix area. so i don't think hiring out of az will be a problem. JJRANCH.

Driver on the scales, park your paperwork and bring your truck in.

Is it just me or am I being followed by the DOT?

Yes that Ta does have a shop and on the opposite side of the interstate across from the pilot is where the CB shop is.

Buy the laptop stand at the Iowa 80, the rest of the gear at the pilot. have the CB shop install the radio but dont buy a radio there.

save the laptop stand setup for when you get to a terminal and they will put it in for you no charge get the CB while you are out with your trainer because you really need it right off when you get your truck. i bet your trainer will even put it in for you. I know i would. just some thoughts

Espically on a Volvo, the CB straps to the dash.
The wires will all be right there, pre-wired most of the time. Otherwise there is a Black and a red plastic screw that you put the wires under. I bet you could figure out which is power on that....don't even start on the reverse current stuff.

For the drivers going to Reno. If you are at the Petro truck stop casino. Put a couple bucks in the wheel of fortune slot for me. When you pass the girl at the desk, they should still be on the wall to the left of the desk. Use to be 3 of them there. The far right machine always was good to me. I never walked away with less money than I started with, and made close to 400 bucks one time.

Just wait until you stop at the Wild, wild west in Vegas. Its right in downtown & you can walk to the strip from there, its on the west side of the 15 on Tropicana. I got VERY little sleep that night.

Most of the Volvos have 3 outlest, one in the dash, one in the bunk & one up where the TV goes. There are a lucky few that have one that has two outlets in the dash, but not many.

Re-powered a load out of Davis, OK this morning. That guy was not happy to find out Iwas taking his trailer & not giving him a empty. He was a leaser & most likely was sent down to Irving to get one.

By the way, don't know if the rest of you know this. We moved back over to Irving again, I was told they had a bunch of stuff stolen from the new place, so they just moved back.
