    You could never count on getting a load to or from anywhere. You can although request to spend your home time in a location other than your home.

    Broke down in Columbus OH. At the Freightliner dealer. I think it's the turbo. I was able to drive in after unloading. We'll see how long this takes but I'm betting on the weekend.

    Well after 24 hours at the Freightliner dealership Fleet Net granted me the privilege of a hotel. Freightliner still hasn't even looked at my truck, now they are saying "sometime tomorrow"

    I feel your pain brother...

    After two good weeks I knew something was bound to happen...

    In the sleeper at a TA in baileyton, tn Wed night and all of a sudden the truck starts rocking and I hear a lot of crunching... Hit and run!!!

    Swapped trailers thurs, got an empty while he took my load.. I limped 20 miles to freightliner praying that my hood wouldn't fly off... Stay in hotel till this morning, got a loaner truck towed to me from laurinburg... Now I get to sit empty till Monday.. bright side is, weekend guarantee!

    That's some tough luck Steveo. I think it would have cost them less to get you to the truck not the truck to you. Made it easier on you though.
