    No, not me in the lounge. I pretty much avoid that area. I hang out in my truck and read my books and watch my netflix.

    My being here this long is due to problems with the new truck. I had a load out of here a day and a half after I came out of the shop the first time. Went and grabbed a trailer and no juice going from tractor to trailer. That's why back in the shop. Then a little over the day and a half and I have another load. So the slowdown isn't that bad. It was more the truck.

    WOW! I guess I owe everyone an e-pology lol
    you're right, I'm way out of line to talk bad about Freightliners, and their amazing reliability and build quality :biggrin_2554:
    (as an aside, I was told by two different members of the 'corporate' environment that the #2 reason our FL inventory is so small is because of their quality issues, and #1 being their worst-in-marketplace resale value)

    I had issues with my qualcomm system and HOS not working at one point. Things do go wrong with any truck.

    There was a BRAND NEW Pete 587 that had an electrical spark and caught fire. Is that Peterbuilt not being reliable or shotty quality? Nah. It just happens.

    You have been out 2 weeks and 3 days so far. Unfortunately I am not in Brooks though, I'm sitting at the Pilot in Cheyenne waiting to deliver at the Lowe's. Then its off to Fort Collins to grab Budweiser heading to Boise.

    I wish I was there with ya joker. I'm stuck at the TA in Redding, CA. The road just reopened going north but there are 50-70 mph gusts between weed and yreka. With only 1600 behind me, I'm sitting here.
