    And strange the broker didn't catch that when two drivers call in for the same load.

    They started showing it from episode 1 on the ME channel last month. The first few were Dixie and the Doc convincing the Fire guys the program was worth it, and the first few episodes Dixie rode with them to calls.

    Nice meeting you...even though I thought it was going to come down to an arm wrestle to see who got that load. ;)

    If its an old style camera with the red button on the dash then they occasionally flash red when trying to find a wifi signal upload.

    I don't think I would have even heard from him. Brian told me during orientation that any at fault infractions during the first 3 months and I would be going home.

    I have books and my phone (when I can get a 4g signal) but I would rather be driving.

    I didn't need to call a broker, I avoid talking those guys (and pretty much everyone else involved) as much as possible.

    I didn't even know it was a broker load until the guy at Kroger told me there was a lumper charge.

    Not impressed with their warehouse setup at all. Compared to the likes of Costco or Target...it doesn't.

    Me?, sneaky?. I thought he was going to drop my landing and pull my kingpin in the hopes I would just drive away from trailer so he could swoop in and hook to it. :)

    If you have the old camera, it's a PITA and sometimes will go off if you sneeze. Most of them don't even work. If you have the new one, what time does it go off? If early 1-4 am, that's when it downloads. I hit mine (I guess) one time pulling my curtains open. Waved to it and said sorry. Stacey said not to put a hat or anything over it as it blocks the 180 degree view, so I put a piece of gorilla tape over the inside lens while parked if I'm not closing up for the night.
