    No can do brother. Thought about it a while back, but based on your operating area, and my domicile, there is no doubt that if I want weekends off (and I do), I would most likely be IN Chicago every Monday and/or far more than I care to be at this point in my career.
    Pretty content where I'm at now. Pass through Chicago usually once a week...but going THROUGH is completely different than going TO.
    You have a decent package, nice equipment, and seem to be an honest and caring company representative...but so is my current boss.

    Well, you can't blame me for trying! Glad to see you thought it through, we can all get a bit impulsive in this industry.

    I think they did something to Bubba, he's not pullin the way he used to. When I got to work Sunday, he had been moved from where I had last parked him.

    Well I had 2 drops, one was in Elk Village IL for 1 skid, the rest of the load went to St Charles IL. The first drop, I had to back in to a garage at 0530, so the lighting was not good, no lights at all in the dock area, on top of that it was foggy, after my two drops, I had to dead head to Butler IN to get a paper load going back to GOE.

    Hey CompanyB -

    I had Mike look at our records and the last time Bubba was in the shop we did a complete PM of the truck and your APU along with a new DOT inspection on 8/25. There is the ‘very remote’ chance that the new fuel filters are defective, but no other services were performed that could affect power. Mike called Volvo Action and they downloaded the truck into their service software; they show “No performance codes active or pending”! I wish I had something else to tell you, but maybe it was a just a "bad day" for Bubba for whatever reason?

    And yes - Bubba was moved the other day, but it was simply to give him a bath. If your performance issues persist, please get back with me or Mike ASAP. I will need to talk with Pam about your EZ Pass, I'll be in touch soon.
    - Jerrod

    Yes, Helen should be loading up the EZ Pass as we speak!
