    I agree...they suck.....I was about to loose my home, but because of them and.their policies, I have been gainfully employeed for over three years and have not lost anything! My wife and I have health insurance and have actually have our savings back on course! So.yes, if you want to be successful, by all means stay away!

    Which is why I stay away from that flying J unless I really dont have a choice. That parking lot has needed redone for some time.

    Yeah, my cousin, who drives for Celadon, told me on the phone last night that he would let himself run out of fuel before he entered this particular Flying J. He said he has been here 4 separate times and was hit 3 of those 4. Wish I had known that before :-/

    you know the spot. And that's my church right across the street. If you see my truck and an old GMC van parked there. Swing your truck on in and Park and walked across the street to the church. I will be inside. Or if you're ever Through town he can still parked there were I do and walked across the street they have great food.

    Well, I'm at Freightliner in Texarkana now, they're trying to jury rig a turn signal light into the truck so I can limp up to NLR to have all the major body work done there. It's quite a mess in the daylight, but after the road service guy came out last night and applied a roll of duct tape (which I'm sure he charged Maverick $1000 for), everything seems to be holding together enough to get me to the terminal. Then comes the fun time of being down for several days while they fix this mess.

    I was in Cumberland City,TN in December and a McElroy flatbed driver cut the corner short and took my front end off. I was issued a new 13 truck so I wouldn't have to be sitting for several days. Maybe they will do the same for you.

    Yeah it looks like they're gonna have me switch trucks, but they don't have any of the new 13s available. I think they mentioned another driver was going on long term leave and was turning his truck in in a day or two, its another 2012. I'm not looking forward to moving everything, especially since I put my own mattress in here, that's gonna be a you-know-what to move.
