    So JV kept sending me the same pads repeatedly, finally send me one to El Paso if I'll run 43.5k about 50 miles down the road. Sent the planner a message after I accepted the Texas run that if it got yanked after I refused the local I'd be calling Phoenix to raise h3ll for retaliation. Then I called and she answers, immediately puts me on hold after I identify myself and forwards me to the now partially deaf operations manager. Ten minutes later I had an empty solution for the run home.

    I don't expect to see California again any time soon, at least not anywhere in the Jurupa Valley planning area. By now they probably have me on the blacklist at the gate.

    Question, did you make more revenue on the mt solution, than you would have on taking the 50 mile load?

    Memphis, TN.

    My truck is in the shop, and since it will be at least tomorrow before I get it back I went to a motel.

    That entire region is difficult for parking. I avoid going there, when I can.

    I'm just about to the point of wiping Windows from my computer and going with Linux.
    I really hate the direction Microsoft is going these days.
    My daughter's hard drive fried recently and there is no backup to reinstall Windows when I put the new one in, so she will be getting Ubuntu. It's a lot cheaper than buying a new copy of Windows, for sure. And she is excited about all the free software that she can simply download and install.
    Not to mention that most malware and virus' are aimed at Windows.
     
    Buckeye91 and fr8monkey Thank this.

    Well, Memphis impressed me.
    They had my truck finished this morning.
    I'm now headed up to IL for a noon delivery tomorrow, then picking up a load headed to the Denver area for my home time.

    I've always had fairly good service at the Memphis shop...considering.

    At the T/A on I-55 in Mathews MO.

    Finished hometime and now pulling a heavy from LaPorte TX up into Chicago. I must have been to Chicago 3 dozen times this year so far. Odds are Manteno will hang one of those Costco loads out of Morris around my neck to get out of Chi-Town.
