    Will do. Dying to know myself, but they couldn't take me until tomorrow, and that might be put off because half my pay this week got put on hold due to a weight discrepancy.

    Well that would be a return to azzhat land. 14 hour days too, EVERY day. I don't see it, but it might be a smart move to put away some bucks. You're not doing very comfortable trucking right now. I don't know if I could take the kind of stress you're under.

    No doubt. Reputation is hard to build up. Advertising is a factor, too. If businessmen and wrench turners could only work together...oh wait they do! Aaaan that's why we get ripped off. Pharm, there has go to be a way to find a qualified mechanic for all of us on this thread alone.

    Actually I'm thinking more about health insurance. My wife has been having some problems and my son needs to go too. and there is no way I can afford a policy right now

    Internet truckstop has long loads going into NY for $1.50/mile or MORE! I know many drivers don;t like to go there. Why is that? What is it like getting out, $1.15/mile?

    My wife is 45. If I knocked her up at this point I'm likely going to be the one needing medical coverage
