I'm sure things will be fine I worry more about the heat if I get to hot I might melt
Could always get one of those window AC units and plug it in

There are company trucks coming in all the time! Drivers who quit, get sacked, and company drivers who decide to lease. Don't worry you will get a truck as 6pak said it could be straight away or could take a few days.

I thought they still had to get a 100 new Volvo's to finish there contract with Volvo, or are the new Volvo's only going to be for L/O???????
I run my own Internet Business and you should have heard me on Tuesday night if you think you had a rant . I bet JJ was like OMG since my rant was at him over the phone LOL.
As of this morning 300 new Volvo's will be rolling in to the terminals.

At least thats what was said in the office meeting I "over heard".
