Truck is in the shop here in Omaha, NE.

I can't believe they made it as easy as it was to get a hotel room.

But having ran out of miles the last thing he needs to do is run heavy. He hasn't had anything to eat or any coffee and is now out of smokes and can't go anywhere. Shouldn't they let him unhook for a few to hit a flying j that is like 5 miles down the road? Then come back and re hook up. Just curious still trying to learn the ins and outs.

Tell him to call his D/M and tell C/S to get on the phone with his 01 and his 99 try to change the 99 appt time or get the 01 to adjust the load this way it won't be a service issue on his part. If the 99 appt time is changed they will just move his H/T off untill this load is done thing like this do tend to happen.

Am currently hauling a truck load of near beer from Newark NJ to Waco, Tx. bud light. Doesn't anybody sides me drink the real stuff anymore? 2nd load of near beer i've hauled.

Everybody's first few days off the trainers truck will be a trying time. Crap will happen all the time that he won't be able to control, he just has to roll with the punches. Having to get a load reworked & flat tires are highly anyoing, however they are not the end of the world.
