    Yeah I am out of Inver Grove terminal and the new fleet manager is just stupid. Talked to the terminal manger today and he actually listened to me and said we will sit down an talk when I get a truck which he said should be friday. Just didnt make much sense on how its my fault when they dispatch me and I accept the runs they dispatch so how am I supposed to get more miles if they dont give em to me. But will find out and let yall know when I get a new truck and how it goes. I just had em open me up to the 9-10 run instead of the midwest regional. So hopefully ill get more miles doing this. Still think my dm should be to blame seeing hes the one who is supposed to look out for me, he even said he knew how much ive been sitting and the crap runs ive had but said it wasnt his decision. But oh well maybe ill get a brand new truck out of this deal cause the 07 volvo I had was starting to have issues.

    That terminal never gets new trucks I got an 06 with almost 500,000 on it when i got it all beat up missing stuff all over in it and i was a team and they only ran us about 2000-3000 miles a week and we were able to do much much more but we always got stuck with 3-500 mile runs it was dumb and had to do favor runs when we wanted to get home and that would be the most miles we get is those favors so just be careful with them and hope you have good luck!! What school did you go to?-Punisher-:biggrin_25515:

I went to schneiders school in green bay two years ago and took a year off an they hired me as an experienced driver an sent me out two weeks with a mentor. Thanks for the luck and hopefully all works out when I start running 9-10
