    I think every truck on the fleet is Detroit 60.
    Classics are nice. Just need to get used to that turn radius and practice backing. Have fun!

    Well what a last delivery. Double load for Meijer. Never ever pick up during the day at the Tipp City . We were there at 5 am and left at 8 pm. This was for a unload, First part of the load we picked up in Ga. All none touch hand freight by hubby SLC. Loading was fine and last part unloading in Lansing, MI was good. Just day shift at Tipp City sucked. Other truck there had their broker making there office a living he'll with calling. LoL

    Now in main terminal doing 10 off and getting some maintenance.

    That has yet to be seen. Truck does not make the company? Company policy ois not the truck. We will be going over detention time pay. Hubby did that 14 we expect to get paid for 10. We shall see what happens.

    So does Old Dominion fire any driver they catching smoking or chewing dip? LOL What a joke. I hope hordes of drivers walked out on them after that nonsense went into effect.

    We will know if they do back that up in 17 but they might start it earlier. When hubby left they had just put up the signs that insurance would cover stop smoking programs.

    They already have a ban on drivers that use tobacco , they can't drive the 15 and newer trucks. Since they replace truck every 3 years soon they will have no trucks not covered by ban.
