    Nice, truck, I like the color. It'll probably pull better than an EVO, I believe those use a slightly different engine spec. DD13 or DD15 or ISX?

    That's good you don't have to worry about HIT. Would suck to have just spent several hundred on new red coolant then have to hook up to some trailer where the last guy that was pulling it had green. Man I would be pissed lol.

    Since you already have some driving experience from your time at SNI, how come they have you going out with a trainer for 7 days?

    Alright so i realize i havent posted in a while but been getting settled so i finished training sunday and got my first load it was deadhead 314 miles from luling, la to sterlington, la left monday and got loaded tuesday morning then delivered in Carrollton, ga and then drop in morrow, ga at my terminal that load was 802 fc miles at $0.26 fc and the load paid to the truck $1084 + fc. Paid $363 total in fuel and def because got truck with 3/8 diesel and 3/4 def. I had another load today to pick up preloaded in covington, ga. Got to terminal to get paperwork cause was told it would be ready to pick up at noon well when i got there manager said it wasnt until 1600 to be loaded so he had me shuttle a trailer to a customer in lithonia and then bbt to another qc terminal not my affiliate cause they had a brand new trailer that was for us. Dropped it off at the terminal then grabbed an empty to take to my customer to give them an empty and get mine. Well got there and checked in to find out the trailer dropped off prior was rear and not center and consignee required center and we didnt have any near by so they cancelled their load. Now got a load monday morning from pell city, al to mesquite, tx. When i find out the pay i will keep everyone posted.

    I hope you were paid for 'shuttling' those trailers.
    I just hit my 6 month mark today at my company. Had to do an aqua ammonia pump unload yesterday in Scottsdale. I hadn't used my pump in almost 3 months and had to struggle a bit to remember about vapor recovery. Remembered why I didn't like it. Hoses all over the darn place.
