    So far Abilene health insurance for is has been good. Four kids check ups done and the insurance paid it all. So far tgis has been the best we had. Dental is also good for anyone looking into get the health insurance with the company.
    JB that's how doctors are driving them high end cars by over charging us for health care. Lol

    I just entered my past runs into my computer with my spreadsheet that I keep track with all my loads here at Abilene. Kellan and I ran a total of 9410 miles in this short pay period. We ran 7400 of that the first full week of Sunday to Sunday. We ran the other 2010 Monday to Wednesday then went home.

    I sat down with safety this past Tuesday when we go in and explained to them it's doing him absolutely no good staying on my truck any more than this next 2 weeks. I'm in this truck with him teaching him policies and procedures, the driving part he's got down. I'll go out with him these next 2 weeks, take him to the North East for a couple of trips, then we'll test him out and send him on his way solo.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    Question for all you fuse savy folks. My RM 510 keeps blowing the 20 amp fuse when I plug it in. It's the plug-in under our qualcomm unit. I'm thinking bad charger? And if so, can I replace it with an aftermarket one or do I need to get one from RM? Thanks.

    More than likely your cord took a dump. The same thing happened to me about a year ago and I bought an aftermarket one and have had no issues since.
