    Download a copy of WinRar. The first time it runs it will ask if you want to associate files with the program, select yes.

    Install it. Then create a new folder on your desktop (right click, create new folder). Then go to the downloaded file, right click, select "Open With". A box will pop open with a list. If WinRar doesn't show in list, select browse, select winrar.

    Click OK. When winrar opens, select "extract to" the "New Folder" on your desktop. Open the "New" folder. Follow the included instructions, to the letter.

    Since I started (lso mid Nov) I average 2474 a week, this includes home time and 8 days down for repair.

    My truck also had a cracked head and blown gasket, but it to took 2 shops to find the problem plus it was during thanksgiving.

    If your willing to work and work safe, the miles are there.

    Things are tight for us right now due to some accidents. Wouldn't surprise me if they stop hiring for a while. Turnover is low and I think the focus is on cutting accident induced costs.

    Joe How did you your run go? Any problems?
    I havent seen anything but sunshine since I left out of LA.

    I will be delivering in the morning. Things have gone well so far, nothing but sunshine with a short period of light rain. It's been nice not to worry about anything other than driving for a few days... :biggrin_25525:

    I'm aware of both points sir, Crete already approved me 2 weeks ago. After I talked with them a few times I decided that it would be best to wait until May & see what the job market is like.

    im not sure was just told since i was more then 100 miles from a terminal i would have to park the truck there when i was at home. Dont really know. Other then he said they liked for you to live within 100 miles of a terminal to hire you and im about 40 over it. <shrug> but we will see.

    the 100 milea rule... or what USED to be the 100 mile rule. maybe still in effect, not sure, but last i heard it was if you lived with-in 100 miles of any term you USED to be able to take the truck home with you,
    but the last i heard was that due to the high cost of fuel they have since done away with that. it might be worth it for someone to look into that i live 67 miles from a term. but for me to drive my car it would take just over an hour, for me to drive my truck it wuld take just over an hour ana half cause of where truck restrictions in my area.
    i take the train, pay 30 buks and im home in 37 mins from sayreville to philly.
     
    hicksie Thanks this.
