    Yea one the million mile guys parked his truck on the ramp by the shop, pulled his brakes and went to get out but the truck said nope and slide back down the lil hill. Proves that even seasoned vets make mistakes but luckily he had nothing to hit n didnt get off truck before it slide.

    They gave me a 600 mile load out of laredo , dropped that this am , then wasted the whole day waiting for something and now they are sitting me over the weekend in lubbock with a monday am pickup. talked to a few drivers they parked over the weekend same as me . I guess since the weather is cold they are parking as many as they can even if you have bills to pay or whatever. I suppose all that matters is some corporate idiot thinks he is doing the right thing.

    Had a good week going and thought a longish weekend load would make for an excellent week. I got dead headed out of the Miami area up to northern FL. Got there and called in about a load. Got another 160 DH to GA for a Monday pickup. Don't think it is just the cold. Have a funny feeling that not only was the poop hitting the fan on the roads, but that it was blowing back into the planners/ops department. I knew something was messed up when I was asked for my truck number after I said my name; that was a first.

    That sucks. Do they have a prognosis yet or just waiting for parts?

    Yea see I have had a cel on and like 5 mpg and come to find out a sensor that cycles fuel was leaking and pouring unneeded fuel into the engine. Just now got out so now I just wait at petro. However I am eating a good chili omelette.
