    I spent 5 hours waiting on Tyson to take off 20 cases. Only took the guy 10 minutes but I had to wait 5 hours. I know someone who will be calling Jon L tomorrow.

    I had issues with this trailer. I emailed them to Mark and he got in touch with the driver that dropped it. He said he talked to the driver and apologized to me. I still encourage you all to do the same.

    Thank you very much holy cow! I thought i read yall had gotten 35 used prime trailers, did that happen and ive been reading yall have a lot of problems with slider pins, right? How is communication with dms for lumper pay and the sort? How are they on letting you come home on the holidays? Do they lease purchase trucks at fre? Lastly, what model pete? 386,387or long nose? Also, do you het advacements during the week? Howany truck washes do you get a month? Hoe do the trucks pull? Run up I70 much thru the rockies? Thanks so much guys!

    Trl's we have are old. They freeze up if they set too long on the slider. Ya they said they bought used prime trl's 2008 years. Just don't have them in use yet. Not sure when they will. We have a phone # to call for t-Cheks to pay lumpers so that makes it a little faster. The Pete's are 387, Packard engines with 13 speeds. All trucks are set at 65. If you keep a 7.0 mpg then they will set your truck to 68. Pete's are set 65 on the floor 68 on cruse. Holidays is either thanksgiving or Xmas. Other then that they seem to get me home on time every time this year. All depends if you live in one of the lanes. If so it will be easy to get you home. No lease purchase or o/o.

    Only have a fuel/ mileage bonus at the end of the month. You can run I-70 in the mountains if you route yourself that way to get where you need to go. 2 truck washes a month. Just the basic 1 from the 1-15 2nd from 16-31. Trl wash and washouts as needed. Depends on the truck most pull good some not so well. You can make them all the same but they all will run different. Cash advance is 150 a week 75 on Monday and then 75 on Thursday.

    Good deal! I see you guys frequent texas and co quite a bit.. And if you dont run east of ohio, that makes my day! Do you all feel the issues you are having now will be resolved soon and do you forsee fre around in 10 years?

    I have no doubt that FRE will be around 10 years from now. The issues we hope and are trying to get them to fix soon. Just have to see.
