    I think the night dispatch is more than lost.... They are hardly qualified to wash trucks much less dispatch them.

    Took 3 of them 4 hours to find me am empty trailer in Rockwall the other night. Even when I gave them a list of what is in the yard. they sent my empty out while my truck was getting a quick repair. Then they still kept giving me ones that weren't there or had loads on them.

    What model number Abloy lock does TransAm use? I left mine resting on a trailer bumper in a drop lot, key included as I drove away. I want to check if I can find one online before I buy one from TransAm at $75.

    Does Transam require you to go out with a coach even if you are an experienced driver? example I have 27 yrs exp have run everything from 48 states to regional to local and everything in between

    Talk with the guy behind the counter in Olathe first. Ask him if he's got any used locks that people have turned in as not working. If so and he'll give you one, wash it in hot water to get all the salt and grime off, dry it off well with an air gun, then oil it up. Thats what I did. He had a couple that he's already done that to and all it cost me was a coke!!!!
