    Cranky is spot on about the 30 day leasing warranty. All those repairs are on TransAm. Not sure where your hubby is Bunnie, but Nashville Kenworth is an MHC location and are really good about getting TransAm trucks in quickly. Been there a couple times and was very happy with the service.

    In regards to the decimated scalehouse, the driver was indeed drunk and the scale was closed. One less scale to worry about I suppose.

    And I will spill the beans now for those who aren't on Facebook. I've put in my notice with TransAm. Next job is already lined up and they have a truck waiting for me as soon as I can get there. TransAm ticked me off one to many times so I said #### it. While on hometime I cleaned out my truck and am currently sitting south of Little Rock with nit much else in here than a suitcase full of clothes and my vape stuff. Looking forward to actually being paid and appreciated for a change.

    Good luck HB. I hope the next company is everything you want.

    I am in Wildwood at the TA for the night. No pre-plan but whatever guess I will get load tomorrow. I want that load of pillows HB got out Fl.

    Thanks Jaso! I'm feeling pretty good about it because I personally know a couple drivers there who have been very happy. They also get quite a few former TransAm drivers too.

    BTW, it was bandages that I git down there in Palmetto. Had no clue we pulled out of there but I wont complain about a nearly empty trailer.

    I just picked up at Masonite in Laurel, MS today. Got them to load me early but it's a heavy load. Nice that they have a scale on site and it's perfectly balanced, but my truck is still sluggish with it.

    Hey all how does showers work when your out with the trainer? I figure the trainer will get the free showers since its his truck and the trainee has to pay his own? Thanks...

    It is a shame. I really didn't want to believe it and wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. Thankful that he hit a closed building and not someone else.

    jaso? You probably know the answer to this better than anyone else. Both drivers in the truck will get showers won't they? It's been too many years and I never really paid any attention to how it worked.

    Are you all packed and ready to go, travis?

    Negative ghost rider! The showers you get on the points card can also be used for a team/co driver shower. Showers are typically free. Just stop where you have a shower at if you can. Otherwise you'll be paying for a shower that night. In the last 2yrs I can count on one hand how many showers I've had to pay for.
