I talked to a solo driver today in salinas, ca and said he was turning in 6000 miles this week...don't ask....lol

 

Typical trucker story! Did it start with 'Y'all ain't gonna believe this . . .'?

There is no way to get that many miles LEGALLY.

He probably is sitting on two weeks worth of paperwork since he is 'turning in' 6000 miles this week.

 

i have a 2010 prostar and got it with 12477 miles on it,,,driver had just gotten it and turned it right back in,,i drove these for heartland and knew a bit about them so for me was an easy choice,,that being said listen up...if you are starting out dead broke and or way behind,,get a cascadia or prostar thats got at least 150k mile on it,,i.e. already broken in,,if you can afford to get by on a grand a week after taxes and settlement then get the newest one you can to keep your maintenence costs to a minimum,,,fyi....when you get enough in escrow (200.00)(first week holdback)get a three axel alignment done,,,not doing that cost me two alignments and a new set of steers at 81k miles,,covered by escrow, but could have been avoided if i had not been a stubborn cheapskate and done it much sooner.good luck and cya soon!

 

dont know if i ever want to run that much,,,been there done that,,years ago!!! more than likely he was holding back a trip or two for turn in to bump up his income for a week at home,,,,or he was crazy,,,or stupid,,or has some serious alimony issues!lol

 

Panhandler... sorry we missed you in Cheyenne... hopefully we will have the chance again to meet up.

Arguing, arguing, arguing.

That all this thread seems to be doing lately and it started when a certain person did NOT get hired by our company. He trolls this thread just looking to find any tiny place to start trouble. I sooo wish the Moderators would ban him from this thread, if they would just read through his posts they can not help but see what he is trying to do which is destroy the good humor that was here and get the thread closed down. How many times do we have to say this is for your FAVORITE company... positive, good discussions. I would so like to see that type of atmosphere return here, but unless the moderators step in and ban this guy it will not happen because he will continue to harass us. I for one am sooo sick of this.... PLEASE, please Moderators... BAN HIM!

As for sick... I have been and will be out of the truck for 3 weeks or so. Multiple symptoms... need some tests done... totally wiped out. I'll post when I can. I miss all our good posters... JCT and non.

Be safe and be professional.

Hugs,
Dabs

 

Over lapped weeks.... some drivers like to brag....

 

hope you find out that you are ok,,good luck.

 

Feel better soon Dabs. How is Hubby ever surviving without his executive assistant in the truck?

 

I agree with Dabs.

I hope you get well soon.

 

Hope nothing serious is wrong Dabs and that you start to feel better soonest!!!!!
