    We actually don't have that many camera trucks. Most of our trucks I see don't have the cameras.

    ALL the common carriers are short on freight right now.

    You can do a lot worse than Crete/Shaffer/Hunt, I will be perfectly honest about that. May not be the best, but we're far from the worst.
     
    tucker and Onadetour Thank this.

    I made it to North Vernon this morning, load wasn't ready, ran into a brand new Crete driver, he'd been here a week.
    He was going to my favorite Lowes in Arkansas, I told him about the Applebee's next door and that they had Beck's Stout on draft and it was cheap. :)
    His load was ready a lil before mine,
    I should have helped him with his axle weights, or the almost flat trailer tire. But the cam showed a hard brake 3 blocks from my home and I know I'll hAve to call the ####### about it.
    And my last load I delivered on Tuesday got Transflowed today, I usually have my bank fax it in, but I didn't get around to it this time.

    Fuel stop at the Texarkana Flying J. Went in and had a shower. When I came back to the truck I saw someone had written "Trump 2016" in the dirt on the back of my trailer. Somehow I feel dirty.

    I like Trump. And that J,terrible but edible bar b q next door, plus the little pub beside it.
    My trainer left me there for the weekend and I saw some 80 year old breasts there. Ick. And a homeless guy bought me a beer.
    I think I get to keep my truck, they might just pluck the cam,

    Edit, I won't vote for him, but he's putting on a great show.
     
    Onadetour Thanks this.
