    Might not be doing a reset after all. I got a preplanned picking up at Tyson Carthage Texas going to Safeway in Spokane Washington. Loving these miles. I guess a good attitude goes a Long way. I only rejected one load due to lack of hours. And I’ve helped out with other drivers when I’ve been able to.

    Tyson in Carthage isn't a bad place to pickup. They washout the trailer. Just needs to be full of fuel. Can be tight to put a trailer in if the lot is full. Loads are usually ready within the pickup window. Sometimes before. Closest CAT scale is in Shreveport, LA. Cloest one in route is in Tyler, Tx. No scales at the truck stops in Carthage and the plant scale is so inaccurate it's almost hilarious. You can park overnight if needed or bobtail to one of three truck stops in town.

    Thanks for telling me this. I was planning on getting the trailer washed out before I got there. Now I only have to top it off

    I added a bit of info I forgot. But it was that they over night parking or you can bobtail under PC to any of the three truck stops.

    Noted. But my dispatcher told me to complete my reset anyways but my load is already ready. I am due in Spokane Monday morning. So when I pick up tomorrow night I’ll have to haul some serious ###

    Haven't heard anything about the % pay deal in quite some time. Is it still on the table or has it been shelved?
    The terms I heard were nowhere near what JCT and I discussed when they were in the planning stages.

    Haven’t heard anything but just small rumors floating around. Haven’t been paid by percentage before so I’m not sure how I feel about that.
