    Yes and that is where the first empty first up isn't followed. We sat for many days being number 14 or 20 waiting to be number 1 to get a load.

    Why are you waiting for number 1? You can still accept loads if your not... 20 trucks could be sitting at the house waiting for a perfect load. What area did this happened?

    If you see a load you like, commit to it. The worst that can happen is someone ahead of you grabs it. Then there is one less person in front of you. And if you are waiting till you are empty to try and find your next load, you do not understand how it works at all.

    It's been said before, but Pete, if it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all.

    Just look at it this way, you're going to put as much money into that truck as you would in one year making payments on a new one. But, yours will be good to go & you won't spend near as much the next few years.

    Truck almost has 800,000 now. You should get em change anywhere from 800-1mil.. One breaks there goes an engine. Cheaper to do this then replace the whole engine lol You can't really tell how bad they are until you take em off.. Oil pump just having that replaced as everything else is getting done why leave an old oil pump in that could fail while we are down there:p

    Mi 38 i am not trying to be argumentative at all BUT, I have been here 2 years and am still learning the system so for you to think you know how it works after only a few weeks ? As for the other it is first empty first offered. That means a load that you are matched to will first be offered to people who are already empty, then to those who will get empty before you, then to you. If you see a load on the board that you want put your self on it, it has already run the board.
