    I needs a new compressor and a line leaks. Everything else is new on it, so that's the last possible thing.

    And I guess trying to fix it at a petro wS a weekend fluke. I was told we don't fix AC on the highway.
    My argument with that is; if I'm paying into a maintenance fund, you fix it where ever it can be. It is not like it's company money. I already paid more than what I've pulled out. (Maybe)

    Sounds like they need to remember the difference between company and lease...

    I have to salvage my week, so I'm taking a Laredo 2 stopper for Monday. Company will cover my motels since I don't have time for AC repair.

    I may be able to daycab a loaner while my truck gets repaired. I don't mind another daycab adventure, as long as AC is working !

    Not that I understand it, but the warehouse supervisor didn't go for the daycab route. So I'm getting motels every night on this trip down, and back. It won't be pleasant during the day. The dun is my enemy.

    I'm in Austin Tx. My first stop is a school tomorrow morning. Then to Laredo. That'll be fun.

    I sent a contact message to the admins here because I could not navigate anything on here. Looks like it's been cleared up now.

    With this new format, I may try to share my last years ytd statement .

    Still in Laredo waiting for the imported freight to arrive. The thunderstorm helps relieve the heat some . However, this waiting all day thing is getting old. The pitfalls of warehouse side of the company. In a quick comparison ,
    Fleet has established customer accounts that usually move every day.
    Warehouse has ltl and origin freight in GR that are 99% preloaded for me, then they find broker freight back.
    Fleet uses drop yards in Atlanta , Athens Alabama and Desoto Tx.
    Warehouse is out and back.
    Fleet side allows for drop and hook.
    Warehouse is always live unload and reload.
    Warehouse freight is usually light outbound , but brokered freight is almost always heavy.
    Fleet is 75% heavy both in and out.
    Warehouse always gives me choices on weekend loads.
    Fleet sends you your load, if you refuse, they send it again. And again.

    In seeing this written out, I'm sticking to warehouse for now.
