    That's what happened to me not very long ago... :biggrin_25510: While parked overnight in Irvine, CA in a business building parking lot (with receiver's authorization) about 60 miles away from nearest truck stop that I knew of and before picking up load about 50 miles going the opposite way...:biggrin_2552:

    I loaded white cherries from Outlook during the winter. Broke down in Twin Falls so they got extra time in the cold

    Yes... I spoke with my dsp yesterday and she was having difficulty finding something that would meet all our needs... I decided to leave her alone and not bother asking again... There are 3 dispatchers in my co. One of them is on vacation and she is doing all the calling, business on the phone, talking to drivers, planning, etc, etc...

    My company is very small... They lost a couple drivers recently... They definitely don't like and don't want any truck sitting and losing money... My dispatcher and her boss know very well I am a hard runner... I truly believe she is doing the best to get me a load as soon as possible... I think I do better living her alone... maybe will call later to get some update...

    From check in with the front gate to handing the guard my gate pass as I headed out was 45 minutes flat. Good job Goodyear!

    We discussed this a few months back but we finally bought a vacuum for the truck. Ended up going with a 1.5 gallon Shop-Vac from Wal-Mart. Works really good.

    I got as a gift the Diesel Boss DB4 truck camera a year ago. Sat in my closet since then. Kept forgetting about it when I would go home. Finally took it out of the closet and picked up a memory card. Looking forward to finally getting on video all the crazy things we see out here. :biggrin_25523:
