    my buddy, that went back to USA for the 3rd time, is now swimming in Chicago off of 290! Said he always wanted to see that bridge the connects lower and upper Michigan...I just told him to roll up his windows....go buy the biggest paddle he could find....and he'll see it, in a day or two, or three! lol Might be from a different angle though! Well, called and reported idiot from yesterday....but all be ###### if I forgot the truck number! This numbers thing is getting to me! lol I had his number, I thought, down pat....then when fuelling, had to remember my hub, twice yesterday, and this morning, not to mention the 2 drop and hooks! OK.....pen is gonna be on me from now on! I've realized, now, the older I get, the more forgetful of numbers I am. Well, guess that goes with going around the sun 37 times. And sdaniels, you're still an outlaw! WE ALL ARE! Just can't have guns, women, fireworks, knives, wives, DM's in our truck anymore! lol

    Well, got bit by the bad trailer bug today. Was supposed to be going home after dropping in elloree sc. Don't ask, home on Thursday??? Wth!! Running out of time, found 6 series trailer, backed up to it, sent empty message then did pti and found rear trailer tire on rim but inside blown out. This didn't happen on yard. Was pissed but may be able to make it to loves in Orangeburg get it fixed and squeeze home in the nick of time. Sent in breakdown message at 1612. Was told to go to loves, arrived there around 1635. They hadn't heard anything from anyone, stat calling anybody and everybody. No answers from anyone. They went the #### HOME!! It was five o'clock. Don't matter if your truck, house and Harley are on fire they going the #### home!!! I had to start all over after night dispatch got settled in and they finally got account numbers and po numbers to loves so they could fix it. 1900 finished up, no pay for my time and guess who is sleeping in the truck again tonight 45 miles from home?
    Have any of you sent in a macro suggesting anything we could do to make this trailer repair situation better? I think I may send one in to see if we can be compensated for our time, I'm getting tired of working for free. That shi## don't pay bills at my house.

    I do know.....several times, I've gone to Petro/TA and they pulled us up, NO PROBLEM! Just fixed and had to call EPES to verify the account! Never went to Love's I HATE Love's! haha I'd have more fun in a high school locker room, taking a shower, then there! Well...come to think of it.....same thing all around! If I was that close to home...I'd just run it the hell out, nowhere did it say, parking lot was full, did it? I did run over 10-20 minutes one time to get to yard! Just gotta tag it, looking for parking.....

    Don't worry nothing to be sorry about I made it clear we stand up for our own. And behind them lol just wish you'd seen it before it got deleted. Some people can't take knowing they made a bad choice and others made a better one. Ive made my share of 'friends' on here too lol

    We got your back man. You're one of us now. We can call out our own because we're the ones here and can. Anybody else does then we all wear the same hat.

    Don't look like I'll be home this weekend. Sitting in Valdosta and planned in the wrong direction for tomorrow

    that guy is pretty much an idiot! Funny as how he said EPES didn't seem interesting at all to him. Raves about USA, when USA is doing sooooooooo bad right now, I give them another year before they are, a bought out, or b, merge in order to save what IS left of the company. Wish I could've read the post too. lol Funny thing is, I'm the one BLAMED for starting the ####? I never said anything bad at all.....the guy is just full of it and I pointed it out, even got thanked by 2 other posters! Then he runs to the board admin and cries that I called him out....wah,wah! lol Oh well, he can enjoy his crappy checks while I bring home WAY more than him, AND get treated better too!
