    Would be much happier if I didn't HAVE to sit hear in Colton for 28hrs... Load don't deliver till sunday night at 22:00 local time... Told today by an FM that I don't like; "no fr8 out, you NEED to del load tomorrow night". I DON"T NEED to do anything but what I can not control.

    The positive is this; will get a restart on the 70.....

    You all have a good night/day and I sure miss my old fm, but thank God she is our LP...

    Thanks, everyone! Just got into ATL and the Ramada here. It's been an exhausting 24 hours. My trainer is on hometime until Tuesday. Talked to her Friday evening. She sounded like someone that I will learn a lot from. I'm off to get some much needed sleep!

    Hello Craig & T-Bear,
    We have SID L. which is a major difference to Phyllis... I have no problem with Mike except for twice now, he stated he would do this or that and never got back with us..LOL I can deal with that. I am one to NEVER call the FM's, all I need is DT communication but seems Sid is up to his eyeball's with callers and has fallen behind so, he gets more callers because he has a hard time replying via DT. It should never take an hour to respond to a driver via DT, let alone 3 hrs!

    Anyway, not trying to beach so, you all have a great weekend and talk to you soon. Be safe and busy...

    I'm sitting in Colton as well. Our load doesn't deliver until 0430.

    I haven't had any problems with Sid other than he is off a lot. Well, that and he hasn't been any help finding me a new co-driver.

    We are in an older Cascadia now. Someone backed into us at the J in Blacksburg SC. Damage wasn't too bad but it had to go to a body shop. Drove it over to Duncan and thet reseated us.

    New truck has no VORAD or On Guard system. Also no DEF. No idle shutdown either.

    Does anyone know how to turn off or disable the Back Cycler thing? It's wrecking my back.

    There is a button on the left side below where the seatbelt attaches to the seat.
    We see on our way to yucca valley and could stop by Colton to meet you if you see this. Probably 6:15 or so

    Yeah I saw the button but pushing it does nothing. The thing just keeps going.

    I'll be here until around 3am or so. I'll mostly be watching TV. I'm the guy with long hair and black baseball cap. See ya if you stop by.
