    Too bad the newest reefers don't have the peep door anymore. I have done that on occasion...

    So close to six hours later I have my oil changed and the truck inspected!:biggrin_2552:

    Breakdown approved an oil change with out an inspection. Then when it came down to sending the P/O(three or four hours later) they said only after inspection! The Petro had to call a guy back in to work...he was already home...done for the day! Or so he thought..haha Sheesh the only thing worse would be waiting two days for an Acklie facility to work you in. Rant over...g'night!

    I give up on getting any service at one of our terminals tired of dealing with hateful people!

    I had to turn down a 800 mile run that delivered Thursday because of my 70. I'm sure the load planners loved that, they offered a 250 miler that delivers Thursday afternoon, refused, too unproductive, then a 400 miler, delivered Thursday night at 23:00 to North Canton, I had to turn that down, as I don't have a sleep disorder and doubted I could get a parking spot at the TA.
    I finally took the 600 miler to Arkansas for anytime Friday.
    I figure our Midwest regional can run the shags in this area

    stock tip of the week, but WPX right now, it's a $22 stock, sell when it hits $ 20. I love this stock, I buy at 18 and sell for 20 all the time

    At home taking a reset. Never did that before. Anyways, checked my final 2 Crete statements and they paid me everything. Didn't even charge truck detail fee. I really did enjoy working with the Deland staff. They are good people.

    And at Deland, the shop isn't as pickey about having your truck perfect when you turn it in. Deland's people were one of the bright spots at Crete for me as well. I thought about calling Rae just to see if she still was able to recognize her favorite trouble maker...but I know how busy they usually are.

    Deland is the only terminal I have never been to. I've heard good things about them though.
