    I don't care what I get, as long as it's got a working APU. Good luck. Are you going to be OTR or are you getting a dedicated?

    Nah, I'm otr if they let me return.. Well I wanted a workin apu.. But mine was missin the ac compressor and a motor mount.. They had that replaced and then they had to recharge it.. Then it stopped working again.. So there's some real junk commin thru dallas.. I just hope for a w9, 379 or classic next monday.. A t600 would be okay too..

    I want a 386,387,or a t600. I am going to orientation in Springfield,Oh which is only about 10 miles from my home, but I will be on Walmart dedicated. Not a bad deal, 5 days out, 2 days at home a week.

    Ya, I wish I had something like that around here.. But all I have is family dollar or dollar general.. And a measly 500-700 a week is nuffin.. At central I paid a lumper 400 dollars for 2200 pieces and no sorting.. So I'm just fine driving.. I just hope they bring me back.. I was supposed to be back today but money kept me from it.. So I gotta go back next sunday.. Ill be gone for 9 days then.. So hopefully my dm won't be pist.. There's a good chance for a 387 man.. Most of the 386s are new.. And usually upgraded students, teams and dedicated get em.. At least that's my understanding.. So good luck man.. Orientations decent and not deathly bad.

    Cool, I drove a 387 at central for exactly ..............30 miles. When my first 08 volvo blew up, I almost had a T-2000. But they tossed me in a 09 volvo

    Figures... Ha! I leased my w9 at central..so that's why I'm so spoiled to the long noses.. I just won't know what to do with a extra foot or so up front when I'm backin...

    Either way, so far my dms been understanding, even when I came home without telling anyone.. Then I couldn't come back when I needed.. He seems to keep his cool.. But ill know more when I get there sunday.. Hopefully it isn't going to be a situation where I get there and I'm not employed anymore..

    I'm hoping also ill be able to do 48 till next spring then switch over to dollar general or hopefully a tcu.. Flatbed would be exellent too.
