    Is breakdown pay $30.00 per day? That is what my handbook states. Not sure if it has been revised or not.

    Attempted to resaet yesterday. Truck would not pass pre trip. We are now on day 8 of breakdown. At least we have a chance of two different trucks. We shall see which one is ready first. Hometime scheduled for this Friday, hopefully.

    Hello There. :biggrin_25511:


    Let it snow......Let it snow......Let it snow.


    Don't worry, Sammycat. I haven't been accosted by Christine, and Snowball is taking good care of me. I was in your area last night, but couldn't stay so I didn't alert you to my presence.


    I'm in the Nor'easter (MA) right now with no delivery appointment set. I'm sure that will be resolved momentarily. The roads in from Buffalo got slick last night, so with no appointment set, I wasn't pushing the issue. The negative is the lack of parking spaces for trucks on I 90.

    It's 0745 and the snow is letting up, roads look good and I get back hours by 0800.



    Just a quick note to let you know I'm still kickin'. :biggrin_25525:
     
    sammycat Thanks this.

    Hey Wedge- glad to hear you are ''still kickin'' :yes2557:

    We didn't get anything from the Nor'easter here specifically not like NYC and NJ did. It's cold for sure though!
    Ha snowball-that might be more appropriate now if you think about it!
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    Someone sent a msg last night night asking if we could do a repower to New jersey. I..uh...didn't get the message. Besides, it was going in the wrong direction for where we needed to be going.
