Arrived in texas for upcoming trans am orientation

wait till your 2 miles from a reciever and your gps sends you down a residential street
i believe the gps in our trucks are actually pc miler software same graphics on display

 

mike you continue to burn 10-11 hours everyday you will wind up sitting in a TS for 34 hours before you can drive again. it takes time but you need to learn how to balance your hours to be available to run everyday. if i want 34 off it better be in my recliner not a ts in liberal ks

 

Unless your pressed for time, try and balance out your daily running so you can keep recapping. Running all day only works for dedicated and regional guys like me who get home on weekends. When I was OTR I hated taking 34's

 

I was told that alot of the problems are that drivers are pressing the Arrived button on the GPS when they are not at the location. Was told that when you press arrive it will recalibtate the GPS to show your current location as the location your trying to goto.

 

i have heard that too but it doesnt always seem to work that way
and of course it really only happens late at night with 10 minutes left on your clock somewhere you havn't been before

 

Take a breather, learn from the mistake and try again. Your new, learning and still got those early butterflies. Take your time and pace yourself.

For the love of god, do not abandon the equipment

 

Well you make more leasing. Had a lease guy in the other day and he said after all his bills are paid what is left over equles about .55 a mile. Company only makes .30. Dont quit Mike. Your not a quitter.

 

You had some guy tell you, a student who has never been a driver, he made more money being a lease operator. And then you read post after post from guys who have learned the hard way that leasing is not what they were told it would be. And many experienced O/O's who tell newer hands that leasing ain't for everybody.
Wonder who should be listened to ?

 

Please, do not just leave the truck.That is a huge blunder You will feel better tomorrow, and can make better decisions.
Calm down, deliver the load, call who ever you should, get some sleep, and think about it. Your company is probably your best friend right now to help you, but if you abandon the truck, they will be very upset.Sleep on it, then do the RIGHT thing, whatever you decide that to be.
