    The problem with the mcp100 is that it is not on fire. They all do that. You can change the timeout period in settings.

    I had the same issue on Keiths board. Im getting all kinds of loads now, most of them get swapped and I get asked to run something else. I volunteer for everything they throw my way. If I can get a reputation as being the spider-monkey who accepts all challenges to run tough loads, I might even make some money here...if I am not spending it all on coolant.

    I haven't followed this thread much lately but after seeing a JCT wrecked yesterday on I-80 is Nebraska I figured I would check in... Anyone know if the driver is ok and exactly what happened? Looked to me like it may have slid of the road because of how wet it was? They have a second JCT truck on scene unloading the stuff from the wrecked rig to the other... Pretty bad front end damage from what I could see... I think it was around the 155mm.... Hopefully this winter driving season is almost over for all of us I certainly cant wait, I'm sick of the snow.... Stay Safe...

    Never hurts to ask, if you can get something for free, all the better.

    Pecisely! In my last debacle, I managed to never pay for marketing materials or print off applications because one of the companies had a regional office very close to me, equipped with an awesome copier for other carriers, and stacks of materials for their company in a store room.

    I got a message from the Prime drivers sister. Barb and Iris were badly injured but will both recover. Both are in good spirits and realize that they were very lucky to have survived. I feel much better now. I can stop washing my hands and get some sleep.
