    I hate to be all negative but with trucking if you expect the worst always you'll never be disappointed. If you find some drivers with a good attitude that you can work with it can be great. That's the problem though and every driver out here, myself included, are picky as hell and always want things our way and everyone ought to read my mind lol.

    Martin is easy to work with, but he isn't a night owl who will wait for those last minute hot loads and he never argues back lol.

    It sucks running those last minute late night loads but there's great money in that freight. Some people are ok with missing out on it though. I'm full of piss and vinegar. I'll jump on any load at any hour if the price is good lol.

    JJ's alternator went out last night :biggrin_25513: He got it to a shop but the new one probably won't come in until late today...and the old one is only just out of Warranty.

    doing a power only. apparently it's a LS brokered load.

    don't ask me how, but this trailer hasn't been registered in almost 5 years. and one marker light on side back corner. is ORANGE and don't work.

    supposedly it bounces from texas, utah, cali. has new tires and tail lights. but expired registration.

    1981 trailer, 45 foot.

    3 HOURS NOW, and no one has a clue where the registration is for the trailer i'm hooked too. and landstar just called to make sure i didn't leave.

    It never fails that when the warranty goes out the part does shortly thereafter. Murphy's law
