    They made everyone in my orientation class in green bay go fuel up at that BP and then scale the truck before they would consinder you cleared to leave on your first load. I used the cat scale app and emailed to the instructor and my ICA once I found a better price on fuel then that BP. I didn't want to go back to the training room once I left!

    wow.. yeah screw this Valliant paper shipper.
    I had to restrain myself from storming out of here. I've never been soo disrespected in my driving career.

    Hey Freightwipper. Are the Freightliners they have the Cascadia Evolution or just the basic Cascadia? I seen some with the Grey plastic bumper and sides on them. Thanks

    But they're still just a company truck.

    The only difference being a battery apu and they're not set at 60 mph.

    oh man I am wiped out

    Anyways the stupid paper plant.. it's soo dumb it's not even worth getting into.
    Just some tidbits are my preloaded trailer wasn't done nor the load ready, the guard was very mean to me and the shipping office worker was cracking jokes how I'm screwed along with the customer.
    However after seeing how depressing the Valliant area is I can understand why they're beeeeches

    I thought Mississippi would be far enough away to escape from the OK/TX black hole but it wasn't...

    However determined to escape I did.
    I'm doing a trailer move.. just moving a empty trailer of another company a little under 500 miles and it pays over $800 from Mississippi to Missouri and I'm going to bobtail to get it.

    Rates are terrible down here, Northern Mississippi by Memphis is okay though. I saw a load going over 500 miles today from there to Indiana paying over $2 a mile. I ALMOST jumped at it even though I'd have to deadhead over 200 miles to get it but I didn't.
    Back to Missouri I go....
