    Whenever someone quotes "freedom" as the reason they want to buy a truck, I usually ask them "Freedom from what?" And laugh at their amswer. Most people talk about freedom from dispatchers, load planners, etc.... not even realizing they are about to become the exact things they hate.

    I agree 100%. My Sweedish Dog got fhe passenger side factory antenna taken out by an overhanging tree in Dallas a while back. Replaced it with a Francis, my SWR is 1 with very little calibration on factory coax. I have run Francis antennas most of my career.

    I'm confused, why didn't you just open the spread instead of running it like a closed tandem?

    I thought he said earlier it was a CA legal spread, hence my confusion.

    Well this has been a fun day. Delivered in Savannah this morning and picked up a load nearby going to Calhoun. Fought afternoon rush in Hotlanta and got unloaded in decent time. Next load picked up across the highway at a Mohawk facility and got there just for them to tell me my trailer is up in Dalton, but couldn’t tell me where and the trailer finder on Transflo is of zero help. Found a rest area with a couple spots still left since i know that there’s slim pickings for parking around here at this time of night. Plus at any rate, i’m up against my 14 and i’m not going to waste what little of it i have left hunting down a trailer, so it will be picked up in the morning.

    Tried to call night dispatch but it went right to voicemail so i guess i’ll call later

    If you’re leased to a carrier you won’t get away from the things you mention. But my truck is spec’d and set up exactly the way I want it, the engine is what I want, the transmission parameters are what I want, I don’t go anywhere I don’t want to go, and nobody can tell me I’ve been home too long and it’s time to go back to work.

    Grabbed an MT from the yard this morning and live loaded it 8 miles from the drop yard. Brought it back to the drop yard for someone else, got another empty and swapped at Gatorade in Edgerton and brought that to the drop yard in Council Bluffs. Slammed under a kawasaki load sitting there at CB for TX but I only took it as far as KC and then it’s someone else’s problem. Back home again tonight!
