    lol yeah TX and OK is not my area.
    I do plan on buying my truck at the end of the term, certainly will be a good deal compare other trucks.

    Yeah you are missing something..
    The mega carriers LOVE drivers just smart enough to drive a truck and just dumb enough to sign a flease and work for .92
    Places like Stevens and TraScam pay .84-.85 to pull a reefer..now that is scary :biggrin_25524:

    Forget about the log books. You would need a self driving truck.

    Yeah I was in Knoxville and saw a truck that just looked like yours.. without the limo tint though.
    Glad to hear things are better for you.

    So, here I am at an oc and this ic driver starts talking about how the new contract is void because it says we are dispatched in it and how he only signed the first page of the icoa contract and nothing else, and how we are now being dispatched according to the new verbiage on the crossroads website before you get to the load board. So every place he said it said dispatch I couldn't find it and he just starts arguing how that's what's implied by it now and that if they giving us a preassignment now when we schedule time off how that is being forced dispatched now. When I ask him again to show me where it says the word dispatch he just tells me I don't understand and am ignorant when it comes to reading contacts.

    It's moments like these where I just want to :banghead: and then ask myself why do I try and argue with :biggrin_25526:. I should never go into an oc when I am :biggrin_25518: at 3 in the morning, I get sucked in and don't realize it until an hour passes by. All I ran in for was to brush my teeth. :biggrin_2554:

    Another fabulous customer.....
    Requests I go into warehouse to hang my truck keys on a rack next to door before I can get unloaded (like I can't drive off with my space key lol).
    Been sitting here an hour, no other trucks here and they haven't started unloading me.
    I'll give it another 30 min of camping the load board before I go in an see wtf is going on.
