    Do what I do. Call the number on the sign by the tracks. I've done it a million times. Never waited more than 15 minutes at any of those crossings. Just lie and tell them you're running out of hours. They'll never know otherwise, and the train always moves

    I still haven't figured out why we still have a rail system in this country, except to keep another union alive. Friggin worthless.

    I am really enjoying this thread. Gives me hope I might be making the right choice in a year or two.

    Maybe instead of Trenton it should be renamed Trainton.

    Hahaha! I like the terminal but I hate goin and leavin there.

    Stuck in Cville with broke truck again. I'm sittin at the hotel with coffee and a cig right now. Turbo throwing fault codes again,,,,

    Now I'm definitely not a whiner but this downtime is killin my budget and I think William is seeing that now. I drove a loaner yesterday to finish my load in Atl,,, think I'm gonna ask to move to that truck. I don't necessarily want a new truck, just one that everything works and doesn't break every week.

    Other than that, I'm a happy camper.

    Well hell too. Yeah, I came in there about 1600 yesterday and got 46117 to finish my load at M&W in Atl. Surprisingly I was back by 1930. Mechanic took me to the hotel where I was told there was a bar,,,,,, it was closed ######. All I wanted was a couple of brewskis. Picked up about 0800 this morning and they had my truck ready and William had a load ready for me. William and I messaged back and forth a few times before I left and he knows the truck is frustrating me. Said he was going to talk with Jay about getting me in another one. I think as a whole, the Millis dispatchers are pretty darn good.
