    well it seems their up to the same ol crap again. 1500 miles last week,(in fairness it was the holiday weekend) now they spread 487 miles out for me over 3 days, just lovely. I am learning though, i will not except anyloads up to washington or idaho for a while, and i talked to Meltons recruiter the said they would hire me, and start me off with 5 cents more a mile than what im making now. Something to think about, lets see how the rest of the month goes.....

    Nope, that wasn't me. I was just coming back from vacation 2 weeks ago (that's why I didn't see your post until now).


    Can't comment on Melton, but you'll get to drive a better truck. I like my ex-Melton T600.

    I've been out of trucking for a while and was curious, what are the two round black tank looking things between the fuel tank and the battery box/step? Also the polish job on the tanks and wheels looks great, nice to see you take pride in your ride even if it's a company truck.
