    I will tell you how to circumvent all this "crap". Don't speak or read English, wear flip-flops, take a shower once a month and stink like %hit and the lists goes on and on.

    Make a short jumper wire to put back in the sensor plug after you take it off the sensor. That’s what worked on my Western Star.

    Been a good few weeks miles wise. Finish a 34 tomorrow 0330 then take a load of DEF to the sheetz dc in burlington, nc then bounce to wilson to grab a load going back to richmond. Decided that was better than sitting until late tomorrow morning until planners get in. Don’t mind short runs if strung together. Home time coming Thursday.

    Same. Feels like we ran a lot tighter in that regard back in the pre-Knight days.

    Back to work drug test completed and passed with flying colors. Back to work tomorrow.

    Not sure if anyone heard, but we lost a driver last week at the Loves in Greenville Va. Only info I have was he passed away in his truck and it was 3 days before he was located, by the manager who took it upon himself to do a welfare check because of where the truck was parked. I’m thinking there’s absolutely no rhyme or reason on how our equipment is tracked. They’re outfitting the whole trailer fleet with these tracking devices, we have satellite tracking on our trucks along with other BS and it took someone not associated with the company to find the driver. They can shut me down until I do a back to work drug test, but they can’t track a truck under a load for 3 days? I really am beginning to truly despise this business.
