    That engine load BOLs should have had ever dollar listed and accounted for. Take a look at the fuel line.
    If anything is in that block, you should be getting 100% of that.

    Nothing but best wishes to you in your battle.

    I still laugh when I remember my grandfather's reaction when they told him they were prescribing the pill form of THC to him to stimulate his appetite. That was...22 years ago or so. He kept his humor all through out his fight though. Positivity and laughter. Good medicine.

    Sirscrapntruckalot - I'll keep saying it...**** Cancer.

    When your doing DOD loads, always ask about a load out of the delivery location. Usually they pay well and will keep trucks moving. Just have to deal with the process.

    Thanks, I definatly will in the future. Never done a military load before this one so i had no idea. I know my company we pull alot of this stuff , but they dont give it to the new guy (me) right off the bat... had an o/op with my company tell me to get a stepdeck if i want the military freight since u could haul more types of vehicles on step.. I know these engines, they wanted flatbed only .

    It's 63 degrees here, and the CRE truck next to me has finally stopped idling.

    Probably because whoever books the loads doesn't know the difference between a flatbed and a rgn or a stepdeck. Had it happen several times in the past with oil field stuff. Specifically request a fb. I show up to haul this big ### chiller thing that's all fabricated pipe with valves and #### all over it and it's 14'3 on the fb. I ask them why I had to bring the fb and not the stepdeck that I had to drop off to get the fb. #### thing was only 30ft long. They had no idea why. Come to find out it was the broker who F up and didn't know the difference.

    Just find out why they require a fb over a step.


    P. S. Stepdeck is so much better.

    Yeah... Because they; being hospitable, offered you you a drink of their best. You foolishly smelled before you gulped. Holding the gun on you is not personal, is jus bizness.

    I never did like step. But i only hauled regular freight on it. Really makes tarping a pain. And tightening the winches 1 click at a time. Think they requested flatbed because they only had a regular height dock
