    Ok. Well that's still good money. Loads are picking up nicely over here for me. I'm getting a lot of 1,000+ HM loads and other freight. I'm due to clear 3000 miles or close to it this week depending on my next load. Right now I'm sitting at 2000.

    Think I might have passed Razororange on the PA Turnpike. It was truck 12043 or 12048, not sure which it was. That's the closest I've ever come to meeting someone from TTR...lol

    Entirely possible. I was on the turnpike today. I had an empty double drop trailer with the tarps all rolled to the front. I'm in Carlisle tonight. 12043 is me.

    That was probably you. What are the odds that you and 12048 would have been there on the same day with the same empty trailer. I passed you going down, or I guess up for you, the big hill East of Breezewood. I was in the white Schneider Cascadia pulling an empty flatbed, and I'm 99.9% sure I was the only one out the today. I'm at the Pilot J in Smithton.

    Hey Razor, are you saving me some loads like I had asked you before? Im sitting on the greyhound heading to Maverick! Be safe friend. Maybe we'll see each other at a glass plant.

    Didn't see you. I don't see anything that passes going the other way unless it has an orange box or a maroon tractor. Just what I'm used to looking for. I'll have to keep an eye out for you. If you ever see me fell free to call out on the CB. It's always on and I will answer to anybody who calls out Maverick.

    Good luck. Be sure to let us know how it goes. I can't save you any loads unfortunately. I tried telling them to wait and give them to you but they refuse to pay me to just sit at the plant and guard your potential loads.

    I think I pay more attention to Maverick trucks than I do anything orange. I even find myself trowing up my hand and waving before I know it. I actually had a guy looking my way and wave back one day. I think I bleed maroon more than orange, and I've never even worked for Maverick. Just have a lot of respect for the company and drivers.
     
    jxu417 Thanks this.

    Honestly if I saw an SNI driver wave I'd probably return the wave just out of habit. I always wave to drivers from whatever company I'm working for.

    Its nice to hear about the respect.

    I can't tell you how many times I've had drivers make nasty comments just because I was wearing a Schneider hat when I worked there.

    Now I am actually proud to have the Maverick hat on. Its like a whole new life just by changing companies.
     
    jxu417, raetnrunner, sewerman and 2 others Thank this.
