    Well I hope this ain't a bad sign but lease truck that im returning to Dallas was totaly trashed on the inside and I had to get it detailed friday which took all day. Then they had no loads down to dallas but i guess they have one monday for me. Im really not too disappointed abt not working friday because i wouldve been in dallas and sunday and still wouldve had to sit all day till monday. This way should work better. But i got the tractor and it felt good to ride around a little bit in it friday. Also they use a parking yard thats about 5 miles from my house which is really sweet. So it should be all good once i get rolling.

    its depressing how trashy some drivers can be. A lot of them do it cause they are quiting . You should have gotten paid for the day while they were detailing the truck.

    no this driver was literaly living in it. All sorts of electronic stuff left behind. Yeah ave to ask about pay. Anyhow I think this works out better anyhow so it should be all good.

    you will be taken care of I am sure of. Its just a thought to ask about the pay if you didn't move a lot of miles that day. I would think it would be considered breakdown since you couldn't go anywhere.
