    I am sure they will take care of you for the time being in the shop. Might take a load or two but they will work ya back into rolling soon to. Now they know your truck is up and moving.

    I just checked my hours and in 5 days I have used over 50 hours so for me doing good. Will have to do a 34 in then next 2 days but what else can I do...lol. Also got stop for the night and something nice happen to me. Very rare for me. Go inside the truck stop to eat. As always I wear my vet hat. Eat go to pay and was told my meal was paid for. Waitress said that she ws told not to say but I think I know who did. Either way that has not happen to me before and I am very thankful to the driver that did. Was t able to say thank you to him so I'll do it here. Thank you driver for the meal. I'll be looking to pay it forward.

    Have a good night all and as always stay safe.

    My only worry for not getting the breakdown, or reimbursement for the hotel, is I live in fort Collins. They could say I could of went home. I could of got a ride up, but it would've been hard to get back to Denver.

    Way I see it is it breakdown. Your ready to roll but the truck isn't. Nothing you could have done. Not sure how the company will see it but hopefully they will see it are way.

    I feel ya platinum. Get some good rest and hope that they get back on driving days.

    Well got a broker load. Gave me the wrong address for pick up and delivery. I found out the delivery address was wrong as I couldn't even find it on google. But didn't find out the shipper address was wrong until I got to the wrong shipper. Well guess it is time to wait and drive at night myself....lol.

    The FROW store in Lincoln is Ina pretty nice place. Lots of quick restaurants and a 24 hour Hyvee right behind it. Parked overnight in he dock last night. Nice and quiet. Now, I am at Bosselmans here in Grand Island waiting on my load going to San Antonio. It's not supposed to pick up until to Oreos 0400-1400. On the call list, so no worries for me.

    I got a 3 stop more baton rouge, Atlanta and Lakeland. who says I'm not get miles? I'm finally off to midnight express now just getting up early in the morning which is perfect for me. I'm having some electrical issues with my truck my ac went out, I also blew the fuse for the driver side window. I'm not sure what happened I did absolutely nothing. hopefully everything can get fixed in lakeland. I also went through a red light camera area the truck in front of me decided to stop in the middle of the turn, I don't know if this ####### was lighting a cigarette missed a gear or just being stupid. whatever he was doing when I yelled at him on a cb he moves pretty quick after that. I hope to god I don't get a ticket because of some other idiot. I can get those just well on my own. anyway I'm pretty happy here. only real complain is when you're trying to get in touch with your dm the response is extremely slow. take care fellas n be safe
