    Yes, it does.....
    www.britannica.com
    type in mumbely peg in the search box.
    Now I ask, is there anything wrong with grasping one's teeth around a hard shaft and yanking heartily?
    At least I don't do it for low paychecks....

    Maybe I can see if they will work something out with my fiance if they have a new program like you say.

    When I'm not broken down I usually get lots of miles. But then I am broken down every other week. Happened with 2 trucks. Guess I had a string of bad luck. I usually do sleep at customers so I don't have to be on clock in the morning if allowed. Took me a little while to figure out the math to manage my time best. Usually after a breakdown my manager manages to get me a long load, but breakdown. This week is the only time I've taken home time since being otr. If I sit I make no money.

    Are you putting in for layover after your breakdown?

    I know its not much but 5 days X $75 is better than Zero

    I get a layover after 2 breakdown days. Most of it was when it was only $60, but when I'm fixed they'll give me the load but can't pick up for 2 days

    Half the money I've made has been layover. Sad. But its life. Just have to find my solution

    I just got an email from Conway saying they have a $1000 sign on bonus, I replied, "Make it $10,000 and we'll talk."

    Meh free hotel...

    Make sure you get a nice one!

    I had over a $1000 bill in terre haute.

    Drury inn loved me.

    Lotta companies limit you to say $60

    Yeah...try finding a hotel for that without a special rate. This aint the 90s there pumpkin.

    Get a po# for first night

    Don't call again until its fixed....you got what you need. Never had any problems getting my money back. Occasionally they whine and say you are supposed to call for approval.

    I ain't doing that might be ready game...Stevens....

    :)

    They are gonna call and check the dates come repair bill time anyway.

    In case you were wasting your time calling every night saying o sir may I please stay another night almighty of mighty deciders.


    You can call at Joplin if you want to not payup upfront and be reimbursed but I'll pass on the hr phone beg call...

    PS.

    Eyebrows.

    ....someone will get that joke!
    She should team up with Lancaster dispatcher

    Ack!
