Heading For Little Rock! Maverick

Nothing beats a hot fresh cup of coffee. It washes away the worries, lol.

 

After I delivered in Searcy this morning, it took 2 hours to get my next W/A. I went to GP in Gurdon where I sat another 2 hours before I was able to back in. It took a little over an hour to tarp it. By that time I knew there was no way I would be able to deliver by 10am tomorrow. As soon as I got back on 30 headed east, 2 check engine lights came on and I got a fault code. I made it back to the yard in NLR and came home. This is the second time this month I've been broke down. At least this time I was able to come to the house.

 

My FM called me a little bit ago. They told him my truck has to go to Freightliner. Hell, I knew that last night. My question is...Why isn't it already there? So far I have about 260 miles for the week.

Reed in Extended Services told me last night the heat got to several of our drivers yesterday then my FM said that one was taken to the hospital. Don't be in a hurry to secure and tarp. Take plenty of breaks and drink lots of water. Contrary to what we may think, we're no longer 10 feet tall and bullet proof.

 

Are they still placing new drivers into the 2007 Columbia's or have they gotten in more new Cascadias?

 

I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure they aren't putting anyone else in an '07. May not get into a '13 but no one should get a '07.

 

I think they are gradually pulling the 07's in. I also think that with the growth spurt in TCD they're probably going to be ordering more new trucks than they originally planned. Just my opinion.

 

I got my job offer today and of course i accepted it. I am now a maverick employee. 1 week of load securement then off to Laurinburg i go for glass training.

Thank you all the help i have received while in training and to everyone i talked to. It was a pleasure to meet you the other day sarge
