Something that is not widely known or advertised is that if you turn the truck back in and it is still under warranty, you dont have to give them the overmileage fees. It's in your lease agreement that no-one seems to read very closely.
if you are buying the truck, the mileage fees also go to the purchase price.

I came out of a W-9 with the same engine and trans. is it my imagination or do the Kenworths pull better than the internationals? Also, why do the jakes suck so bad on these and they are so good on Kenworth? -

It never gives up on the hills and I seldom need to downshift. The bad news is that it has over 420,000 miles on it and I won't have it too much longer from what I understand.
Hope you have a quick in and out with the warranty fixes. -
Things are well, we've been kept fairly busy with Central. I'm guessing they've decided we're not going to quit due to low milage, so they bumped it up and we're running pretty good. We'd still like to find local jobs, so that's the big plan. 4 years otr is enough. -

If you think and International's engine brake sucks, you should go get in a Volvo with a Volvo engine. They don't have enginer brakes, they have party favors. -
I like to pick up in Hershey, go down to carlisle, and request fuel routing myself. It runs you across the 76 instead of backroads up to the 80.
The problem with you getting permission to go off route is you asked for it. No one's going to okay it if you ask. I go, and as long as it's not much longer, I don't bother asking. I've never been nailed for it. And, Iv'e had planners and fleet managers okay large out of routes if the reason was good enough. They canned out home time because no one can read a calendar, and we got them to route us through home when out load had 3 days extra time on it. That was a 300 mile out of route bit, but it was that, or we were going to the nearest drop yard and dropping it, because we had appointments we couldn't' reschedule. -
Had something funny happen today. Co-driver and I were at the WVC yard after some repairs to the truck, and so we went up to get our 4 years of service gifts.
One thing about Central, they do hand out decent gifts, and they're not poorly made. First year is a lightweight jacket, second year is a Maglite, third is a Thermos, and the fourth year was great. The fourth year is...
a Gerber pocket knife.
Don't get me wrong, it's a nice pocket knife. Stainless steel blade, about 3 inches long, serrated at the base. It's going to come in handy.
But does anyone else find it funny that after 4 years with Central, they're giving you a knife? It's like them going "Good job on not shanking anyone for 4 years. We've decided to reward your restraint with a weapon."
I can't stop laughing.bigrigtruckdriver and Klingon Thank this. -
