    I saw 2 New Celadon Peterbuilts?? tonight. At least one of them had the big door on the sleeper.

    Been home since my dad passed on the 15th. Doing a lot of self evaluation.

    Anyways, today they said my truck would be done late tonight, so I tcall my load. It got done about 15:00 and I told dispatch my truck was done and asked if they dispatched my load. It delivered in Olney, Il today. I'll deliver it because it's a pos for anyone else.

    I get the how many hours do you have to run today? message instead.
    I tell them "Nevermind, I'll grab a reset and be ready in the morning" They replied with a preplan from Lebanon, IN to Perrysburg, OH. 229 loaded miles. I refuse it, send a free form "a 229 mile load with a 12 hour unload, hahahaha" message.
    Anyways, they voided it.

    Plus.....

    Crete got the shaft in this raise situation.

    Shaffer got 4 cents
    Hunt got a lot of different raises, why even pay them to tarp? yet they get paid more now.

    Good luck brother, hope it all works out. I'm interested to see how you do. The freedom of Choice is what it's all about.

    You going used or new? Freightshaker or KW?

    Its annoying that no one seems to blame Coulter for the continued decline of working
    conditions. As the "vice-president of safety" he is far more approachable than Ostergard. How many drivers
    do you think I could get to sign a petition against the installation of more driver-facing cameras?
