    For $700 it better be a top of the line everything....I mean high end refrigerator/freezer for that...Crete seems to be running one heck of a scam...first $900 for cpap machine now this....buyer beware....

    I called today and was told that there are only 400 watt inverters allowed and to have anything larger a medical reason is needed. So i dont know why i am hearing different from drivers. I sure would like an inverter for a microwave.

    The last NEW air-ride trailers I saw before I left over there were the low 218's(red trailers with white advertising)...since then, all the way thru the early 221's were spring ride...unless they came to their senses and changed back.

    I've been told they are double bunk. At least a few are automatics. A few may have a camera. Truck Assignment at Crete/Shaffer is like a box of chocolates............

    If you receive this message: "please update a new ETA that is safe and legal. Thank you.Translation: "You have shown up on my possibly late list, why in heavens name did you accept this load?"Haha
