As far as I know they do...I think it depends on where you live,you might want to check on it and see....

 

Wow...this has been quite a weekend....after dropping in Waterloo,IA my next load is to Santa Fe Springs,CA a nice little 1,900 miles under the belt by Monday night!!!! And an interesting journey over...after leaving Lincoln,NE on Saturday morning after a little trailer work which was completed AFTER they were supposed to shut up for the night...I was heading along 80 and then an Interstate Distributor Truck decides it wants to head across the median in my general direction then jacknife across my side....luckily i sopped about 30 feet before i hit it!! Then about 5 miles down the road a Ford Ranger on its roof with what looked like a dead body lying by the side of it....WHEN WILL PEOPLE EVER LEARN!!!!

 

Well, after dropping almost all of my load in California it was found to be 1 pallet too many!! Had to sit outside the consignee the rest of the night from 1am till cargo claims dept. opened! Wait an hour or so so I could reset my 10,drop it off at an ABF facility and get my next load headed to Texas...so 3,300 miles for this week...NICE!!! And hopefully home by Monday!!
