    That's pretty retarded on their part. I agree, different state possibly a different outcome. They had to know in the prostar who needs an inverter. I thought it was weird though because i was reading were you had started training and then it was on to arnold. Was you still training when all that BS happened?

    You would've been so proud of them this morning. I picked up a p.o.s. trailer in buffalo this morning soon as i hit 290 i seen the trailer wheel smoking found a place to pull off tried to free it up wasn't happening called brkdwn they answered on the 2nd ring it was 05:30 so someone must have woke them up b4 i did anyhow they sent roadside right out. The whole deal from beginning to end only took about 1hr and a half i was amazed. I thought I might have called the wrong company,Lol this p.o.s. trl was a 4000# i dont know why it wasn't already turned in weve been taking in 51's and some 52's but anyhow by far the quickest i've ever dealt with brkdwn.

    Well one of the problems is fixed. You dont have to fight with them over the brkdwn pay because they dont have it no more.

    Nope, nothing, no brkdwn no short miles no layover, detention, nothing but the miles that are dispatched.

    their big "catch" to all of that used to be. if you got over 2500 miles that week they didn't pay it.
    arnold if you sit at a customer more than 2 hours, it is 12.50 an hor PERIOD don't know about the other because i haven't experienced it yet

    Yeah they are not stupid for sure. They cut it out right b4 you have all these drivers running crappy low mile loads and the majority of drivers not hitting 2000 little lone 2500mls. Plus the ones that are sitting waiting on loads. That would've cost them alot of money this time of year. No wonder they were able to post a proffit for the 3Q

    wow, i guess the economy finally got them too. the longest i ever sat in 18 months waiting for a load was 5-6 hours. rarely ever got less than 2500 miles.
