Sitting at Tamarack in Beckley WV waiting for a wrecker to get here from High Point with another truck. They are going to tow my truck back to the yard and I will pull the load there with the truck the wrecker brings.
I walked up the hill to the Tamarack tourist attraction. They have a really good cafeteria style restaurant. I had never been there before and avoid the overpriced food at the travel plaza. Got a great meal for $11.
If you haven't stopped there give it a try. They are open 8 to 8. Just don't take your wife. Too much high priced shiny stuff to buy.

I got my fuel stolen the last time I stopped there. SOB made off with about 150 gallons. Food is good though.
-
It was just a little bit shady there. Had a lot lizard knocking on doors and a couple of other homeless looking types wander through. I usually park at the little truck stop at the 44 instead of the travel plaza. Several restaurants you can walk to.
I made it home this morning. Might just take the whole week off. Dispatch talked to me about heading out Tuesday and picking up something dedicated on Wed. So I am off on Monday 3/10. I had already asked to be off Friday and Monday 3/17 for a little vacation. My son is home for spring break this week so I may just take the whole week if they aren't too swamped. Maybe avoid a loaner truck that way. -
I hope Superior will take some of the money they plan on spending on trailers and use it to get more trucks. I have heard several drivers threatening to quit because of constant break downs with the Pro Stars. I have right at 250k on the one I am driving. It just came back out of the shop after being there two weeks prior. Hope it holds up. It is a major pain in the ##### to move trucks and I am not doing it again but at the same time can't afford to sit at home either. ###### if I do, ###### if I don't....

I had the opportunity to upgrade into a prostar. I told my terminal manager thanks but no thank, i'll keep my eagle. Its a rough ride, but i at least know it wont leave me sitting on the side of the road.

Top of the line company buying bottom of the line trucks. Can't figure that one out?
-
Wouldn't be nearly as bad if they just put the ISX in it instead of the MaxxForce. Then you could have a real Jake, too.
lv gn and poppapump1332 Thank this. -
Where are all the new Macks and Petes??
-
Ive seen a few macks here and there. Havent seen the petes yet. Im actually supposed to get a mack sometime this year when my eagle gets replaced. I just hope those turn out to be more reliable than the prostars. I really dont know too much about macks.
-
I wish I knew the deal behind the maxxforce debacle. I'm sure other companies are having the same troubles we are, because oftentimes there is a week or more wait at International dealerships before they can even look at a truck. I'm honestly surprised people aren't suing the pants off of International over it.
