    I was in the yard last week, sw at least 10 crated apu's and 4 un crated , so new trucks aren't that far away.
    I should of asked Brad during my review, but didn't.

    Dumb question, by "paid miles", you mean miles that fit onto one paycheck?

    The way the mileage is calculated sometimes does not match what you actually do . So in this case when I say paid miles, it means just that . The truck itself did 3701 miles , but I only got paid for 3667 miles . I was listing what I did in a seven day period as opposed to what gets scanned in on my check.

    Sometimes I can't get trips scanned in by the cutoff ,so I'll have say 1700 miles on one paycheck and 4800 miles on the next even though each 7 day period had over 3000 miles

    Not a fan of these new trailers (H8xx series). Seems like they burn more fuel (unless they're smaller tanks), and they also seem to be noisier. More like a louder, low frequency "roar". Is it just me? I've noticed this with the three different 8xx trailers I've gotten under the last few months.

    I'm going to say something when I get back to the barn.

    Sitting at home for a few days.

    I'm thrilled when I get a drop/hook at the possibility of dumping an 8xx trailer.. I notice they all off track to the right and they do make a deeper resonance , seems quieter outside though for the neighbors

    Did anyone else lose their XM radio last night?

    Also, speaking of fuel economy, do you guys have any problem getting the fuel bonus at 65mph tail out?

    The free preview ended last night. It sucks.

    I was under the impression basic package was provided to us. Extra package 48 dollars.

    Haven't had an 8xx trailer yet.

    1st QTR all I got was Safety Bonus.

    I was parked early yesterday. Was at the yard.
    My XM still works.

    My xm still works as well.. it's the company paid package(not the free preview) which has a crap load of channels

    You may need to call in to get a signal sent to your radio if all you had was the free preview
     
    Driver Eight Thanks this.
