    Well gang, Just dropped an email to Christina asking for a 26 Oct orientation. Or in my case RE-orientation! College life just aint for me, but I did give it a try! Again... Any of y'all know whats in the yard right now? From some earlier posts I'm guessing Petes and KW's for the most part. I heard that freight picked up, and another interesting rumor that Swift may be in financial trouble ala Arrow Trucking.

    Yep. Was there yesterday. Lots of Petes.

    Could of fooled me on a freight slow down. I've been running my arse off the past three months. Average of 11k per month.

    Glad to see JCT finally moving to scanning all documents instead of snail mail. Now (starting on the 9th) you will get charged the $6 for using the trip pak box. Guess they gotta get a fee one way or another.

    It also kinda bites for me as I have about a 6 month supply of envelopes in the truck. Wonder if I could use those as cover sheets until I run out?

    Was wondering the same about the envelopes. Also as I look at this half inch of paper work, will it still cost at the transflo at truck stops?
    Never have done either. Lol

    Scanning will be no charge now. Putting it in the TripPak box will cost you $6 starting on the 9th.

    I can also confirm the belts on the Carrier are only good for about 4000 hours. Mine broke today at 4025 hours. I would take it to Carrier in Columbus, but I don't know how long of a wait to get it in and don't want to lose my parking space. The weather is mild and I'm suppose to be routed back down to Sapulpa anyway after this load, I will wait til I get back to the yard and get it fixed along with the normal truck services.

    I thought the same thing about the envelopes as I had just gotten a 6 month supply but they said they will still work. I use a USB scanner and the transflo program on my laptop to submit so..no real change just 12-18 more dollars a week in my settlement.

    I remember dropping three envelops into the box at ATL Petro at the same time. They were stacked on each other. Only one got scanned in by TripPak. TP indeed! Took 3 weeks to get that one cleared up, and screwed my checks up but good. So its 12 bucks to scan/6 to drop now?
