    No tracking on the trailers?

    Not on that end. But other parts of the country they do. Except when the value is over x amount, then yes.

    They just put that on most of ours, even my liftgate that I pull every day.

    Has anybody ever picked up near Reno?

    Most of the time they send me to San Bernardino.

    I did once. A load of sugar to make candy. I picked up in Reno and delivered in Salt Lake. Then deadheaded all the way to San Bernadino from Salt Lake.

    Not me these past couple weeks, last load I ran was 560 miles with near enough 3 days to run it. I think some Knight folk may have made their way into dispatch.

    As much as I love Fuddruckers save some space for breakfast at the Black bear diner across the street. I went for the "Grizzly" special and had to take a little break halfway through it. That was a long slow walk back to the truck after.

    Yet another reason to stay the hell out of Cali.

    I usually get a deadhead to the Stockton drop yard to swap out trailers.
