    That is also something you need to discuss with your DBL. Sounds like your DBL is out of Reserve? If that is the case common sense may not be their strong point. Also you can go do the Cascadia training on crossroads anytime you want. Its just another module in the training center, once its done you can drive cascadias.

    Go inside the OC and load it up on the computers there. It takes ~1 hour start to finish and its mostly just watching video about def/regen and shift points. The DD engines like the lower RPM's so your shift points are going to be a lot lower.

    Are you still with the new driver dbl or have you been assigned a permament one?

    Well they tried to give me that truck to use temporary and it was literally a pos and I told my dbl I didn't feel safe driving it she said ask the shop to fix the problems then let her know but I had left the terminal 2 hours before she said that because I wasn't gonna sit there and wait so I am with my son and my ex hanging out

    Well Thursday got my truck back sent in Mac 17 finally about 10am Friday got an assignment to take an empty to BASF in sc then after that got assignment to go to Ashland 30 miles away pick up loaded and take to Gary which I got there Saturday night and was able to end last week at 1600 miles which I say isn't bad for a 3 day breakdown week but so far this week is ehh cause Sunday they had me do a 107 mile local assignment which honestly I liked cause first time at rail yard to drop an intermodal then this morning got a load at DOW which I am pulling a 4 compartment trailer where the 2nd one is only one empty heading to Memphis to unload tomorrow morning then take it to Houston tank wash which is a great 1100 mile assignment but because my break down I took a 34 Father's Day since I say that weekend and didn't think I would be broke down for 3 days so when I get to Houston will only have 18 hours to run three days until I start picking up crap so gonna take a 34 in Houston which sucks cause Friday and Saturday I gotta get something good or going to end with 1200 miles
