    I live just 70 miles from the Shiner beer plant and they always have beer loads available. So unless they run dry on beer loads or something worth more $$ is available in the area, they will probably have me always take a beer load out of here.

    Is that the Spoegle brewery in Shiner? That place is one of the cleanest breweries I've ever been to. Always well maintained. Clean etc. Every time I've been there it looks like it had just been painted. Impressive

    Got mine 2 days ago believe eventually it will be the way we are forced to follow the suggested non toll route but get paid their way for the zip code to zip code miles... there's a purpose for that TomTom navigation, it's just the experimental phase now

    Before they force route us, I am pretty sure they would turn the speed back down to improve the MPG's. There are too many old school drivers working here like me that wouldn't blindly follow any type of Nav system unless it's the way we'd go anyway.

    The company installed them so I don't know what brand. I'm off today but I'll look tomorrow. The rear cams are installed on the mirrors/mirror brackets.

    First time in awhile that they sent me a preplan that I can't pu. As you know I run nights so will pretty much be out of hours after I do my deliver at 7am on the 5th. Next preplan is just 40 miles away but a live at 2pm. Not even enough time for maybe a split break to pick it up. Also it's a customer that requires a washout ticket to get loaded and it would seem San Diego is void of any washbays with the only ones being either in LA or Yuma, AZ.

    Have yet to hear back after declining it. Sometimes I wonder if they even get the decline cause I've accepted preplans only to be msg or called a few hours later asking if I'm good on the preplan. Shows on the people net app that my msg went through but they always act like they don't see it.

    It's because some of the planners are like 1 year old children, they don't know the meaning of the word "no". When I get a "you o.k. with preplan" message after I say no, I ask them if they know what "no" means, and that my kindergarten age grandson knows what "no" means if they would like to talk to him and have him explain it in terms they can comprehend, I can arrange it.

    Do you really say that kind of stuff to your dispatcher, or are you just playing it up for us? Lol.
