    Jessica,
    but then I had someone else Friday who said she'd preplan me home.
    After I sent the empty call Saturday and didn't get a load, I knew I was screwed, I got a load to Bluffton, IN that loaded Monday at noon, anytime drop..
    Then Bruce got me a load from Fishers, IN to Searcy, that delivers Sunday, that I could take home...
    I got to the shipper 3 hours late, they put me right in a door , never told me I was a work in. I left after 5 hours and they loaded me the next day.

    Edit; and all these short loads where I don't live piss me off,
    I need a long load every now and then, sorta like a Pit Bull needs to maul someone every now and then. It's in our blood.

    Do you pass a windmill museum and a junkyard with just Ford trucks in it? I think I've taken that before.

    I was put in a different truck because the old international I was in before was having me do one or two parked Regens a day. Plus it was smoking so bad people kept telling me on the CB to pull over because I was on fire. New truck is still an International but I have had zero problems with it. Last load I noticed it was smoking pretty bad but only on uphillS. It's got a little over 400000 on it. Last time I asked they are now keeping them til 500000. I hope this isn't a sign of a lot of shop time in the near future.

    Thanks, it's a Massey Fergusen 202, I wanted a loader so bad and with this job it's hard to get to auctions,

    Anyways I highly recommend getting a brand new truck, even if it has to be a Cascadia
     
    Astoh Thanks this.

    I rarely ever check the quallcom while I'm home, and this morning (the 10th) I had 4 new messages from the 7th,
    They sent 2 of them at 19:10, they had 2 different trucks on I-65 in Kentucky that couldn't deliver on time, both were headed North too. That's odd ...
    I'm not real sure what that new app does, but I don't want those stupid messages being forwarded to my phone,

    Maybe I keep seeing the same truck, but I've seen 3 times a red Crete mid roof with the top , um, yeah that top piece ripped off.

    I'm enjoying the @supersnackbar meltdown, I care about him, but not so much since he hides and quits posting.
    He probably should come back over here. I can barely read the kids postings in the Magnum thread. I bet they're pros at using a Walmart bag, wmtlol
