    They have been planning well before I get to my delivery. I just hope wherever it's going it delivers by payroll cutoff. Even though I have been running a lot better with the new guy, a 1500-2000 mile week (when I have 1500 by Monday) would undo all the positive progress (and positive attitude) I have had over the last 7 weeks.

    and they announced that they’re no longer pulling trucks at 450 to 475,000 that they’re going back to their normal cycle of pulling trucks at 400 to 425,000 now.. seems like most of the fleet now is fairly new trucks

    Now you get to work out all the new truck gremlins for a while

    I guess the truck manufacturers sales have slowed down enough that they got caught up after the supply chain shortage and can get us our trucks on time

    Fort Worth, 1400 delivery

    Yes I'm sure there could be but none so far......only real change is you can't plug in the pigtail with the truck lights on or it can blow the fuse ......you have to turn them off hook up then turn on for inspecting the trailer lights...
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    What happens if you get an older trailer and the plug is a little sloppy and it would briefly lose connection when hit a bump where the lights blink, sounds like it already has a defect that needs addressed.
