    Yep we are it may not have been his Back:biggrin_2554: The CT scan has been approved just got to set a date for the scan!!

    If they don't find a problem in the CT scan then it was shingles which sometimes plays havoc with the nervous system!

    I still miss the APU we had on the Central truck:biggrin_2554: not only for the heat and AC, everytime I want to cook JJ has to idle the truck and apparently MW are getting pretty mean about the idle times....Why is it all companies wanna screw ya? Would like to see them try sleep in a cold box when its 16 degrees!!!!!!!!:biggrin_2559:

    my truck has some type of bunk heater. no need for idle. but it sure seems to use more fuel then actually idling.

    both trucks i've been in seem to use about one gallone per hour for idle.

    $4 per hour times 17 triucks.

    how do govt and states expect us to get any sleep?

    The new trucks the company got in have the bunk heaters. This one doesn't have one.

    i may end up passing.

    it's not what was orignally discussed.

    i can see what all those leases you all went though a big rip off. besides the maint fund and mileage fee.

    you rent a truck from penske or ryder and the maint is done by them. you rent a truck through central. you pay for the repairs on a truck you have no chance of owning.

    but who knows. 78% of line haul and 95% of fsc. even if i don't own the truck. a bigger paycheck is always a plus.

    and the lease is month to month.
