    Well I learned this week to make sure u have the right size tires when Petro changes them. That caused me grief this week, then the replacement truck i took had overheating issues. But they kept me running a lot better than last week, although I only made about 2000 miles

    I feel the same way. OKC has a lot of youth on their side.

    Got 2 of my drops off yesterday, one off this morning and the last one comes off in Riverside tonight. I spoke to Louie and he told me to head to Wheeler Ridge tonight after I get empty. He's waiting on his orders for tomorrow. At least I'll be centrally located when I need to start loading.

    Here's what happens when I have too much time on my hands, I spend money. Truck was washed at the Vernon Truck Wash, the wheels were done While I was sleeping. At least I will look good going down the road.

    So, I responded to an ad I saw on craigslist for Calex. From what I read it seems to be a good company. Person I spoke to said they are looking for drivers to work Northeast regional. Can anybody tell me more about their runs in this area?
    Thanks

    Hi Johnboy... I have spent the last month or so reading the entire thread. Good stuff! I was wondering if u are still finding the def a P.I.A.? I drive a 2012 volvo locally and find I like the def setup better than the regen system. I had noticed u said Calex fuels at t/a and pertro... And some loves. Are u forced to use the 2.5 gallon jugs? Or do the loves have def at the pump? My company switched over to the pilots and flying j's because of the def at the pump. Safe travels! Travis

    I don't run that board but rhino does. He does very well with it and has been the 2 years he's been doing it. If you want to see all of the Northeast, NY, NJ, New England, then that's the job to apply for.
