    My truck is home kicked to the curb. No money to fix her right now. buried in taxes and divorce lawyers, collections chasing me down for money I don't have. Ironically it would make a bestselling book, my life.
     
    Kamkor and Rugerfan Thank this.

    1. The truck I'm in will be paid in about 3 years solo, less if I hire a second seat
    2. I don't want an automatic
    3. I don't want all those gizmos-- lane change, front radar crap
    4. I don't want a Freightliner, lol even though I have one
    5. May move on to another carrier to get a KW lease truck (still in the thinking about it stage)
    7. may be able to fix my truck in the near future and hire a driver for the JCT truck
    8. I've already put 50,000 miles on it at $0.20 a mile plus all the weeks at $120 a week since mid June, plus 3 brand new tires, I'm not too hip to just let that equity go into someone else's pocket

    Arnt you in a 14? Because the 17s have the same lane departure camera and that's it. Nothing additional.

    I thought they also had those front radar things that lock up your brakes when they see a bridge shadow.

    So the 100 point bonus thing for using the MyPilot app to fuel (which works about 1/4 times) has been extended to December, but now...50 gallon minimum.

    Which means I'll hardly ever use it.

    I know, I was giving it too much credit. I don't know why I have to know lane status to get a code. Thats where most of my failures are at. The others are when I select Truck, Reefer, and DEF in the same transaction, the pump is all "We dont have that product". Yeah sure.... It would have been 100% better if you just flagged where you were at, put in your info for the card in the app (Trip and Truck) then your Loyalty Card starts the pump.

    And before someone says "Send those gripes to PFJ" I already did.

    Most of my failures are there too. Well that or I get tired of waiting for the app to load then wait for the lane status to pull up and just exit out of the app.

    One other failure I had was at the fairly new store in Atoka, OK. I was at the pump and the app didn't register that I was at a store. What garbage like their stores. And I complain every chance I get.
