    Poly will reimburse you if you grab
    the Greyhound to GP ?

    Or is it on the driver ?

    I have heard of guys not being able to sleep in a moving truck and poly paying for a hotel every night for the rider on the way back to gp.

    I would really hate to have to team and if it was someone else needing the ride I would probably just have poly get the guy a room at night. Running mostly east I wouldn't be more than one night away anyhow.

    So you break down in let's say Tacoma
    .... and you live in Jacksonville Fla

    $400 to $ 620 round trip depending on the carrier .... plus cab fares to the airport etc

    thats the beauty of good money management, i can do whatever i want. drivers spend far more than that for their "toys", they just enslave themselves, i value my freedom, what would you do if you owned the truck and there was nobody comin to get you.

    These automatics are retarded backing up. I've done a few tight sight side backs and it wasn't to different. Today I was at a receiver where I'm the one who gets the blind side spot between a curb, some yellow poles and a big truck.

    So I set it up and slowly back then brake adjust mirror, do that until mirror doesn't help anymore so I get out and look. Get in truck and it starts chirping at me ca ca ca which is clutch abuse. It's been a whole couple of mins and a fairly smooth blind side but now when it's chirping it doesn't want you to finish until you let it cool down I guess. Job got done but that's just crap it works that way.
