    Sounds good. My trainer says not all the techs actually know how to do it, so I guess you really have to make sure they did it before you roll out. Best of luck to you!!

    Video of my truck. Got bored waiting to pick up a load.... we plan our trips so we have our 10 in before we roll so we don't get stuck sitting around running the reefer for nothin.

    they had me by pass Gulf Port, Ms. Instead they got me up here in Atlanta, only thing i'm not too happy with is that they have me under load, so no i feel rushed, but at the same time, i dot have any control on how long it takes the shop to do what it is they do.

    Yeah... you're good as long as you stay in touch with your dispatcher. They've been cool to me so long as I always keep in contact.

    i'm not worried about dispatch too much, they know i'm reliable, and i've only been here for a month. the load is going to make it.. maybe not at the exact time they want it too, but it'll be moving the whole time, they wont look at my trucks stat's and see that it was sitting at a Flyin J for three hours or anything like that. If it's late then there's a good reason, either it had a late start, or the Highway was just terrible.

    agreed. Sounds like you'll be fine. That's one of the things I like about Knight. If you're reasonable, dispatch is reasonable in return... I don't know about the mechanics at the shops, though. I've been warned to try never to get service in Phoenix "they will take 24 hours to change a single fuse"

    I'm on a 34 hour reset right now... I passed my second road test... I'll solo out on the 18th.

    Congrats on the pass, i'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it out here.. there's not much about this company i dont like.. i'm pretty sure i've listed everything, and none of it's really anything to start a fire over. be safe.
