    Thanks man, hope your time at Indy goes well and they get you out on the road ready to roll. You'll be based out of a much better area than I am in, I don't imagine you'll run into as many issues as I do LOL.

    Making my delivery in Selma, NC now, then it looks like my DBL will have my pick up the load and head to Charlotte, I'm guessing I'll probably need to relay it through there as this issue probably won't be a quick fix and I'm going to try to get my PM done on the truck while I am there as well.

    Thank you very much! Im sure I will have plenty as the time passes. One of the determining factors in me choosing Schneider over all of my other offers was the way all of the fellow Schneider drivers i have come across on this forum have been very pleasant and helpful and the trend continues here!

    Eventually your truck will run for longer than a day or two at a time.
