    $14.90 - Prepass for a month

    Priceless - all the trucks in the scale that have to repass me.

    I took Saturday off and grabbed my reset, Sunday I said I was ready for a load, and I turned down a super productive load, if I was on loose leaf, but, oddly I was the only driver and it was the only load,but it got rescheduled into a goof off load.
    Which, I just don't care.

    the trailer was preloaded Friday and they sat on it.
    but, maybe Crete didn't have any drivers available on Saturday in the Chicago area.

    the only bad part was I could and should have stopped in Stony Ridge and WATCHED the race.

    I just enjoyed the benefits...getting passed by the large-cars only to pass them back while they're in line at the scale...plus blowing by the cabbage cops in FL and the POE's in WY is a big help

    while my freightshaker was in the shop they sent me to recover a truck a driver abandoned.. I asked if it was a Freightshaker and they said yes, I then knew oh no here we go.
    I get here start of the truck and it's broken, check engine light is on, regen light is on and 9.. yes 9 fault codes are on the screen.
    I am soooooooooooooooooooooo over these POS Freightshaker Crapcadias, these are simply throw away trucks. Products are the dollar store are put together with more quality than these trucks.
    EVERYONE I had broke down on me... multiple times and I've only been driving a little over a year.

    I've been there too because my truck is broken, they had ZERO extra trucks to swap out driver into.
    Yesterday they sent me to recover an abandoned truck to bring back to New Kingstown, I got here and this truck is broken as well.

    Oh happy days.
