    I got busted for this a year and a half ago soon after I first signed the lease. What happened was a screwup I guess, FM told me to put my truck in the shop and the techs will put on the decals etc, I got the truck back with my truck numbers but didn't think or even know the Leased to Swift thing was required, evidently the shop must have been out or something.

    Well anyway after I got my ticket for not having Leased to Swift I took it into the Lathrop and a guy from the office put blue decals on my blue truck. I just figured, these guys do this for a living they must know what they are doing. Long story short, I'm legal with Leased to Swift, illegal with blue on blue as it is not a contrasting color. I'm so lucky they didn't tazer me on the spot, hogtie me with a bag over my head, waterboard me and send me to Gitmo for being a murderous imminent deadly hazard on the highways.

    Yes, I was at Phoenix asking about the decals, they said check with the body shop, which of course was closed and I didn't have time to wait for the next day deal.

    I was just at Oklahoma City terminal this morning, they are fresh out of decals.

    Yes lol I have seen Schneider trucks in Swift terminals before. I guess some loads are just too precious for a Swifty.

    Still parked outside the Denver terminal. Only difference is now I'm MT. Mac 30 offerings have been slim at best. 2 last night going west into a winter storm, and 2 more this morning that don't pick up til tomorrow and deliver in El Paso on Monday. Probably should have grabbed one of the ELP loads, oh well!

    Tulsa, OK.

    Delivered a load of pallets to Kimberly Clark this afternoon at around 1600, then headed for the Flying J.

    Got a pplan last night that was a live load picking up tonight at 2000, but I had to turn it down because my 14 was up at 2100.
    I even stated in the Mac 10 that I would only have 5 hours left at PTA.

    No pplans as yet. Either freight is slow around here or I am being punished.

    The automated directions to that KC are a PITA

    Yup.
    Call this number for directions.

    Luckily it is easy to find.
    The QC fuel route actually gave perfect directions. It's just knowing how far on OK 67 before the turn onto Kimberly Clark Place.
    My RM 510 GPS had no idea.

    It's confusing because KC changed thier gate location ... It used to be down at the bottom of the hill, which is the GPS address. But when they put in the golf course housing tract, Tulsa's wanna be upper crust, didn't want the trucks going down thier street ... so new gate up top, confusing directions and a ticket for anyone who goes to the old gate.

    Rest stop in WI, on my way to PA ... don't have to be there until Monday ... so a leisurely drive.

    Got the flu, wnd my student is out of hours. So, had to get my load repowered the rest of the way. I havent gotten sick like this in over 2 years. Right now I feel like I failed myself by asking for a repower. Is it against the law to drive a commercial vehicle while sick?
