    Sooo. Back to TNI business. January, as predicted, has been thin but not poverty level.

    I'm playing spin the bottle with tni trucks this month,, too.
    Had electrical issues with my favorite truck so swapped for another. TNI recently hired a bunch of drivers and the pickings are pretty slim. This truck is older and has been rode hard and put up wet. It has poltergeists in the electrical also. Could this be a volvo phenom? Changing again Tomorrow. Gotta say I like that ability rather than hanging around waiting for repairs. Hope I get one that has been exorcized this time.

    Some Volvos are known for electrical gremlins. I had one where there was wire arcing with the battery disconnect switch,which almost led to a fire!

    I was all over Texas for awhile. I’m guessing we must’ve drove past each other.

    Sorry I didn’t wave. Be well UTG!

    Glad you’re still doing well @TNI. I had to block their number they kept calling asking me to come back and I kept saying I have your number and I like you all but I have something better.
    I’m on the fence about moving to Corpus myself. I won’t make the decision till the end of summer though.

    I liked their trucks. The Volvo was quiet. The loads were using 20k or less. Really could put down the miles with 70mph truck and the hills not slowing me down.
