    Looks like I’ll be getting a loaner truck while mine is repaired. Already a load lined up to GA I grab tomorrow.

    False alarm. Loaner truck has no working headlights or front signals. I’m not risking getting shut down in their crap while my crap is in the shop.

    May I ask what company you work for? It seems between you and Cybercat you have had nothing but problems.
    You understand that the rest of us are getting very, very large money right now, right?
     
    Cybercat Thanks this.

    I’m kind of trapped right now. I’m looking at an exit about 29 days from now.
    Company is Equity Transportation. It feels like they are circling the drain.

    Man, I'd say. Like I said, everybody else is making large money. There's no reason why they aren't as well. Only logical 'jump to conclusion' is that they're about to go out.
    Good luck, brother.
     
    popcorn169 and Wickedfire77 Thank this.

    I pulled a short run to Traverse city, then the loaner truck went screwy. So now it’s a waiting game. I can feel myself sinking in quicksand. Any sudden movements and it could be disastrous. I have to plan my exit carefully.
     
    RERM, Highway Sailor, T.Rucker and 2 others Thank this.

    Equity is in my rear view.
    I’m buying a newer truck from a sales group out of Minnesota, I told my story, they took my money and now I’m with a different outfit making % on each load, kicking myself for not leaving sooner.
    It stinks having that payment to cover, but I still have factory warranty left, and extended warranty to 800k miles
    I’m putting $200 aside each week for non warranty issues and trying to build up my other accounts.
    Cheers to another 3.5 years!

    Man, that place was so bad in so many ways.

    Good luck, brother.

    Good luck hope you enjoy new truck as well. If you don't mind me asking what type of truck did you get and the dealer?
