    We shall see how it goes but since the beginning of the my brother has been running solo with our lease truck. Thus far it has been better than when we teamed in it. It might be due to the fact we are still a "team" but with one driver not on board. I just got accepted at a company that I wanted to work for originally, so I more than likely will be leaving while he continues with the lease. Good luck to you all and hopefully it works for the best!

    After getting a call from KW this afternoon, and being told that stuck here until at least Monday since they are closed after 1630 today and then the whole weekend, I am outta here. Just not sure when turning the truck back in. Either next week, or try and get some miles and wait until my home time april 12. Just now trying to make a decision between 2 regional companies, and both of them are good, and reefer. Do I want to be outta Fort Dodge or Green Bay.

    Fort Dodge sounds better. It's gonna be tough to leave because I'm use to the way things work but when they start acting like fools then it's time to take my talents somewhere else. Good luck BL I'm trying to find local if not back out on the road until I do

    Talked to Rapid Response last night and they are having the bigwig of RResponse call me on Monday and see if can fix this problem. Did find out that when talking to them that they have a loaner program when we are broke down for long time. Kinda mentioned that nice to know this now, especially when I was broke down for 2 weeks at the begining of the year, 5 miles from the Columbus terminal. Instead of being in the hole, would have been making money. We will see what the big wig says tomorrow. Still I am pretty sure that I am leaving. BB, pretty sure now that it is going to be Ft. Dodge, drive a shiny red Pete. They called me last night and even though living in Oh and FT Wayne would be closer, one of their other terminals, to be able to run where I like and the miles that I want, take their home terminal. Thanks BB and good luck
