    Winters is the best! He carried any room he was in. He is missed.

    So far, we are happy with R+L.
    It’s only been a few months, but other than equipment (truck) issues, it’s been good. We’ve had to switch trucks a few times because ours (2017 Pete) has issues. But at least they have trucks to use rather than sitting & making $0. Many companies will let you sit for days while your truck is in the shop.
    Our checks are grossing about $1800/week. EACH. Not too shabby for a rookie just out of school. :D

    Glad it's going good. Our new Pete is having pollution control problems. But we are in a 15 inter national until they fix it. Money is good. Home daily for 4 hrs and 2 full days on weekend for us. Unheard of in teaming. 1800 week also. Was going to be 1900 each but they changed our run a little. More time at the house each night!

    Just found out we get hourly pay after 2 hrs breakdown. Our Peterbilt shutdown on us on us51 in Tennessee and it took 6 hrs to get a truck to us. Problems with pollution control and regen. Road repair said here is your authorization number. I said what for and he said you get breakdown pay after 2 hrs so I got 4 hrs at 27.81 hour. Better than nothing.

    With ours the engine light keeps coming on and says it will derate in 3 hours. Been in the shop on and off for weeks. They’ve replaced 4 sensors, the wiring harness and still same problem. Now it’s at Peterbilt again. We’ve been in spare trucks more than ours. Lol.

    We got a check today too. Ours wasn’t as much because we have only been there 6 months but we each got $250.:)
