    You know things are getting better , you are happy because your break downs are less hours.

    George I admire your attitude. Have a great day. Glad you got that APU fixed, :biggrin_255:

    That sounds like a good run George, glad you are eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin again.

    I deadheaded OKC to Dodge City to pick up a load going to Fla, , not ready, will pick it up early tomorrow morning. It has a planned T-call in Rockwall. I hope the T-call is to get someone else home as I am worried they want to get me to a Term to do a schedule B PM. I will be annoyed if after being stuck waiting around for days making deliveries if I have to spend yet another day unpaid getting a truck PM'ed. A truck that I will be giving back at the end of my employment in less than 2 weeks.

    Speaking of PM's I have an "E" PM on November 1. I got this truck from Rockwall. Is that where I will go or go to Olathe?? Heck do I even need a PM? Six times down in four weeks. Everything should be fixed. LOL. NOT!

    ^ Does not matter where you got your truck, you can get the PM done at either. I prefer Olathe as I can at least check out a key to one of the bunk room cells and have a place to rest while waiting all day for a 15 hour schedule B PM to be completed. If I was sticking around, I would put in to go to Olathe to get mine done but I am hoping to skate by and let them do their thing when I make the final turn in of the truck.

    ^Yeah, I don't know what the schedule "E" PM is ... you can put a call into the shop and ask, if it is just a filter, you can get that done in a drive by, no need to plan around it.

    Well at least I know that anyone that made it into work today at my corporate office will be in a good mood today. Not a football fan at all but I have figured out when one of the Pittsburg teams wins or looses.

    Didn't work out the way you planned, George! Hahaha! Didn't see the game but got up to the news this morning. At least my hubby will be in a good mood today! As for me, sitting for 15 hours in a loaner truck with none of the comforts of home waiting on Abilene to decide to give me a load. Might really be time for a change considering all I've been dealing with.
