Good Night From II

Right. I tell that to my students. Never, ever, EVER put a trailer number in the boxes in Mac 1. It will confuse the crap out of the system. Mac 2 will tell you that you need to list your drop trailer if you don't put it there, and will tell you that the trailer isn't attached to you if you do. It takes a DM who really knows the system (and there are very few of those) to be able to fix that screwup.

 

I went to pick up a load this afternoon and it didn't work out.
The load I was supposed to pick up in FL is actually loading in GA.

They had moved a lot of stuff because of the hurricane, so all those loads have messed up pick up locations.
The lady in shipping told me there have been 5 like that since yesterday. Various carriers, not just Swift.

So after the CSR got it straightened out the load was voided and I was sent something I like better.
This one picks up in GA and is going to Indianapolis, IN.
So instead of a 400 mile load to AL I have a 970 mile load out of the deep south.

 

Okay, enough with the suspense. Details, details, details???

Is that a ProStar?
And no side skirts over the tanks?

I like the color, though.

 

LT ... International rebranded the Prostar ... Minor mods to the body, slightly longer hood, different bumper, new style mirrors updated electronic dash and reconfigured the cab dash layout a bit.

Yeah, no side skirts, all polished aluminum. I came to really loath the side skirts.

 

Does it still have a lack of cabinet space what I hated about the Pro Stars

 

Depends how the space is configured ... Were you in a mid roof or full condo?

 

Full condo.... in my opinion the Volvo has the best cabinet space Freightliners and Kenworth pretty close together can't speak for Peterbilt never owned one or driven one , but the international especially ProStar was God awful with cabiet space and the way it was laid out in the sleeper

 

Except the older Volvo's were the best.
They had actual cabinets over the driver area, whereas now it is just an open wrap-around shelf.
