    When husband had the new International he had, it seemed like it was broke down so much. The work dealers were slow to get the work done in some places, you know warranty work vs paid for work, guess which one wins. He had a student with him the one time in Sparks, NV, they were there a week. Talk about a great vacation, stuck in a motel and no car, they walked to a few shopping places.

    His APU on the truck he has now is having to be worked on for the 4th time now, luckily he needed to get the tires rotated, and is only about 75 m away from the terminal. He also keeps having problems with the radar on the ON Guard system, needs a hammer again I guess.

    I hope you can get established and get some money going. I guess until then the Lord knows what is going on and has you in mind. I know you miss that new grandbaby. One of ours was a week old when I went with hubby, we would go back home about every 3 mo was all. Missed a lot on that one being a baby, you know how it is when company and you could only be off about 2 whole days. I was exhausted by the time we left usually.

    Here's to the little check engine light and may it stay off.

    AMEN!! From your keyboard to God's eyes!

    If worst came to worst, we would get a loan on the tractor, because it is paid for... And if we just can't get the swing of things there are companies that we could work under their authority... But we just want to make this venture work! Right now it's a combination of things that we are having to learn to coordinate... We won't quit without one heck of a fight though :)

    PS... That On-Guard, we have one too... PIA! But I like it in foggy conditions and construction zones - LOL!
     
    NavigatorWife Thanks this.

    I'm afraid the elusive 'spot market' keeps on moving around... It's not in FL, OR, WA, AZ, NV... But we're still trying :)
     
    xlsdraw and lovesthedrive Thank this.

    Klingon crew ... Don't know if you already have this. I picked this link of the reefer section some time ago ... It may give you some intel on the spot market as to where the freight is and where it's going ... just need to find the brokers that can plug you in ...

    you do realize, don't you, that you just listed five of the biggest black holes for outbound freight? Nobody thinks those are where the "spot market" is or will be.

    Just a bump to say "still following your posts". I really like the updates, just wish I had more to add. :)
