    Well the end of March was bad for me, had a 4wheeler cross the line and while I avoided the head on collision the truck is likely totaled (I'm fine).
    This past week is going to be a hard 1 to beat though. Ended with 3577 miles, pallet weight just over 115k, and hand weight about 42k, with a 5.5 hour loading delay.

    Wow, Glad you are ok. I'm lovin the job myself. The only thing I am not impressed with is Penske.

    I had to ditch it years ago when some chick popped around a curve in my lane with a phone up to her face. It sucks and it’s frustrating but obviously could have been much worse. Glad you’re ok.

    We haven't had many issues with Penske in our terminal, other than the wash crew on Saturdays being half assed.

    Can I be nosey and ask what the issues are with Penske you guys aren’t liking? I worked for a company long ago that used Penske and we operated out of their lot in Earth City MO. We never had to fuel or anything.. but that’s about the only benefit. One time they test drove a truck around the lot after it came out of their shop and blew oil over every single vehicle in that lot. Some guys personal cars were COVERED, and they acted like well that’s just how it is. It almost came to blows to let them use their power washer.

    As stated previously I've had no issues with Penske, but that's just out of the Waco area. The hold times are horrible if you need to call in, but you can set your callback number. I've heard some guys complaining about taking too long for repairs, but the only delays I've had were parts being backordered. Not sure you can blame a single company for having the same supply chain issues the rest of the world has.
