    Not yet. Give it a couple of years and it will be at every truckstop next to the DEF pump.

    Either one, Those things are attached to a spring that is attached to a bolt on the frame of the truck, Besides they took those things and put them in the cage of a Rabid Gorilla in Heat and they left them there for a few days and she were not about to destroy them, so you guys thinking of making it a Tire Wedge for Sliding your Tandems or a Curb Stop when stopping at a line-less truck stop isn't going to phase it! But any thoughts as to how to manage such a feat is amusing us so keep going but remember it will cost you money to destroy it!

    Stay Safe out there, I was told in a PM a few days ago by a reader here on the forum that they remember me by always saying STAY SAFE, Guys i mean that when I say it, I'm not just Blowing Smoke I have been here just long enough to see how one goof up, 1 backing issue can put a guy out of the system that he and his family depend on for their take in life. So BE SAFE! Look before doing that, G.Et O.ut A.nd L.ook!

    Trust me, if someone were to give me the ok to have at it, this thing wouldnt be identifiable as an mcp100. It would be transformed into a smoldering pile of half-melted plastic chunks and oxidized wires. And I would be standing there with a sick evil grin on my face and a wet spot on my pants.

    Well after delivering in San Diego this morning I dead headed up to Colton for my load. When I was first sent the preplan it had one stop in Ochelata Ok, when the load assignment came through it had a second stop in Tennessee. While the second stop would ideally have been the money maker portion (lighter with 600 flatter miles) it was going to cause issues with my needs. The planner had not been informed of the 2nd stop until just before I emptied out. So he and I decided we would cross dock the leftover freight when I completed stop one to allow another to run the stop 2 simple enough.
    After 4 hours of the waiting game and live loading game I get my bills, Walmart had changed things again. Only one stop, back to the original delivery in Ochelata only. And only 18000 lbs to boot. Wind was calm so I booked it all the way to the Petro in Kingman where my 10 hour break has just begun. And I finished the day out at 7.9 MPG. all in all a good day.

    Just get one! It will pay for itself every month. You can maintain your cheapskate status by collecting ketchup packets or something.

    Do you guys get stop pay even for one stop loads? The calculator on the jct website is throwing up $40 on stop pay. Of course I understand that the page is a general estimation of how much lease Ops can make, but I figured I would ask specifically about stop pay.

    I saw someone mention the qc unit is the mcp100... Is that the only model in the trucks or is the newer (1000 I think) available. Not a deal breaker just curious.
