    I work for JB as local on a dedicated account for Target in Texas but i've been looking at maybe leasing. I also hate the ACC in pnet. for example there in Dallas on I20 going east when it splits to 635 or 20 going towards Terrell.. the obc will try and throw you through the windshield because of a the road sign hanging over the highway. I've learned to keep my foot on the accelerator there to stop it from jake braking me out of the truck.

    I drove for JB as a company driver doing local intermodal. They were just starting to install wingman which tattled but didn't brake or anything back then. As I said I like JB but I'm buying this tractor and paying the insurance. Even though I've more leeway than a company driver I don't like the electronic leash. I know once I own my tractor outright I won't have to put up with it anymore so for now I will endure.

    Pennington or Cottonton? Either way, my guess is a paper mill with rolls.

    Nope. Part of the deal is their people net pest. The on guard maybe but I've mentioned earlier in thread I don't want to tamper with it for fear it will negate my freightliner warrantee.
