    I could have put this on the "ask you Conway questions" thread but you guys might know...

    The mattress they gave me is the pits. You can feel the springs popping around. I got a 4" twin topper from walmart and it made it better but because it is only a twin and not a twin XL, the sheets don't fit right. So, I got a new memory foam twin XL 11" mattress and boy, does it feel great. I put the 4" topper on the upper bunk for those nights my wife doesn't feel like cuddling! Lol! My question is, what do I do with the issue mattress? Do they want it back? If so, what the heck do I do with it till I get back to Joplin. Do I ever have to go back to Joplin? haha!

    Prob a call for road service or truck assignment but they do put a new one in every truck turned in ...
    but they prob save up the old mattresses and sell a truckload to some Colorado Prison facility

    Beaver Utah. Going to do an 8 then finish to kingman at midnight. Fuel oops isn't going to like this detour lol. Should make it really early. They gave me 50 hours for a 792 mile dispatch. I ain't complaining tho!

    If u had any luck like I did, they'll wake you up 4 hours into your sleep, then take until 1 hour after your appointment to finish. Go get a pizza from Tony's pretty good stuff.
