    Trip Pak Scanning. If you are able to get back to Pittston before noon on Monday then you just hand your trip envelope into Gail and will be paid on Friday. For the most part I'm able to do a round trip and drop my paperwork off on a Wednesday to be paid the following week.

    They look like glorified day cabs......lol Really though, for the guys that run around the northeast I think they would be great as far as manuevering and just operating them everyday in the traffic.

    I had my preplan sitting on my computer yesterday when I got to my truck. I told Jason on Thursday that I had to bring one of my cars back on lease return Monday morning and to give me a load that loaded late in the day. I have to load at Budweiser in Jacksonville at 5pm going to Spartanburg SC for Tuesday morning. It's truly amazing how much communication works here. From there I'm sure it will be a Lowe's load going back to Pittston.
