    Well had a good week last week, got in on Sunday, back out on Tues, did 3200 miles a lay-over pay, and a store del pay. Boy they did not want to pay the layover pay, that was a little battle, had to pull out the manual on them, and recite page 46, paragraph 3, line 2-when I started talking and quoting the book--they backed off-have you experienced that lately?

    APU has also booped the bed again, we are taking the slow rebuild approach, one part at a time, it was a used APU from another one of our trucks, put on my new truck---LOL

    So far we have replaced the a/c compressor, a/c compressor bracket, then alternator, then the fuel pump, and then we had too, redew the wiring--that was causing cab alarms, 15.5 voltage spikes, and inverter tripping off line, and the main battery bank to drain down, and trip off line for low voltage. Now the APU is off line again, think it is the idler pulley and or serpentine belt.

    Slowly getting use to this new web site, got my alerts working now.

    So were do they have ya starting this week?

    Haven't had any pay issues lately but I haven't had to sit long enough for a layover lately either. You can bet I'll hold them to it if it comes down to it though. If they'd quit hauling these cheap ### back hauls and build some relationships with some good brokers instead of taking the easy way out with cheap and heavy Robinson they would have such an issue with cost.

    Did Leesport last week. An okay week but nothing stellar. Did this place in south Hackensack.

    Had to back down thru all those cars, 90 thru the gate, 90 to the dock. Barely enough room to work with even with a 48. Getting in wasn't too bad just slow and easy but getting square and flush on the dock took about 20 minutes of pull-up and wiggle back. I learned quick any pickup in northeast jersey do whatever you need to to get a 48 going in there lol

    Headed to Tampa getting ready to leave now then the usual to Columbia for tomorrow.
