    #### man did not know you were having so many issues. So far my truck is holding up but it is starting to fall apart on me. Seat belt sensor is going out so I get to listen to the alarm everytime I hit a bump. Engine has started to make a rattle sound like the radiator fan is rubbing against something but no warning lights yet. There are a bunch of other issues as well bit none have impacted my work so far.

    Main issues for me have been with the loads. Like I posted in the other thread a lot of loads I did last week were missing vital info requiring me to wait on hold to talk with someone to get it.

    Hope things start looking better for you this week.

    Yeah, I'm southern and that dot officer made me sound northern. You can only imagine.

    Foghorn Leghorn at a DOT inspection.

    "I say, son, you can't weld rust."

    I can hear it in my head.

    Delivered early, grabbed an empty, went to the shop, back to sitting till tomorrow morning for an early am (thankfully, as they had me on a tight window otherwise, I had to call and set that little gem up) but still... Sit sit sit. Didn't get my breakdown pays nor my layover. Someone bring me a cigarette. :)

    Well, I went with my gut. Got other things rolling, I'll work out a notice, mind you. Not really mad at them, just, we aren't meshing well. I like to run, they like to sorta run.

    700 miles in 3-4 days is... Not conducive.
