    Everyone gets those calls , but certain days are better to deliver in Texas, makes it easier to book a load out, I am loading to tx today and already booked coming out

    I understand that everyone gets those calls. Just didn't see the logic calling me for a load that I would need to dh 550 miles to load, going to Lubbock, Texas where I would need to dh more than likely a couple hundred minimum to get out. I just thought it was funny that's why I posted it. One mans junk is another mans treasure. :p Maybe that load works for someone else.

    It could be, actually it serves a purpose. Many times it's people training to be coordinators that make those calls.

    They aren't familiar with what a driver will or won't do.

    Yep, some are ridiculous but every now and again, a gem ppops up.

    Imagine how many times that joker gets told no

    Ain't ever met Pete but got the worst of his luck. #5 liner and flange cracked putting pressure in the radiator. There goes a smooth 26k lol.

    Decent though for 1.1 million miles tho
     
    RStewart and HalpinUout Thank this.

    Smoke bad and smell of raw fuel. Once it get going it will run but when the thermostat shuts it down it won't start properly. It's an espar unit.

    I bet the ignitor needs replaced & the screen needs cleaned. Most don't know it but when you shut it off you're supposed to let it cycle for 20 minutes after you turn it off before you turn the key off the truck. It helps keep it clean.
