    It was great to finally meet you both as well! I just wish we had a little longer to hang out, lol. We didn't get too bombarded. It was really nice to have so many offer tips & tricks to how all works over here. Even thou we drive a truck for a living, it's heart warming knowing we work with fellow drivers that are friendly and offer help!
    Hope we get to come across ya'll soon! We are on our way to Birmingham right now. Have to be there in am and not sure if we will make it on time. All we can do is try. Hope your truck is taken care of soon! :)

    We made it here, but was 1 1/2 hrs late. They haven't said anything about it yet, but we don't have a p/p either. Guess we'll wait and see, lol. Have fun with the hay. We was there a total of 5 hrs until we was unloaded. Hope you get outta there soon. :)

    we got out of there at 2ish eastern time. dodge backup. stopped and ate.. got a load heading out to jersey...

    hopefully they get you rolling again soon. Its funny, every time we told them we were going to be late, we usually ended up being an hour early and the last time. 10 min early.. So I guess we better stop crying wolf... LOL... hardly any here at the yard.. best time to get truck worked on if you need it..

    after we delivered, we had the misfortune the next day to pick up in Lawton, OK at Republic Paper. It's a good place to take a 10-hr break while waiting to get loaded. Your pretty heavy and no scales that are close by..

    took that to phoenix, pu in tucson back to fontana, pu in commerce and heading to cleveland as we speak.

    I had to question them on their idle pay. After 6 hours of no idling in california, they pay drivers a certain amount (which I can't think of at the moment), and so last weekend, I know we didn't idle at all on Sunday, truck was in the shop. So I know that there were other periods where we didn't idle over 6 hours. I just have to prove it now.
