Exactly ......he is in a straight . His OWNER is in Ohio . No idea where HE is .

What I'm saying is there are many , many loads that are UNDER 650 Miles . So many times I see people posting that unless you are a team in a straight truck , you are not going to make it . That is completely false .

So your saying that these companies don't ship loads UNDER 650 miles ? C'mon man .....

I'm solo Straight truck also , and I got no complaints .

Should have realized that within two weeks . He just had to find his right fit somewhere . Quit scaring him off . Most of you are VAN drivers anyway , so that's Not a fair assessment.

You need to look at other options . Being a solo ST driver out of Ohio , there's no excuse for that . As others have stated , it is a little slower than we would like , but Its not THAT BAD.

I think you win load of the day ! All that beautiful scenery AND great fuel mileage. Great way to start back after some home time .

But there seems to be a strong signal and a flashing green blip coming from the vicinity of " the corner tavern " .

That should be a really beautiful drive .

Finally got booked after no calls Friday thru the weekend . Monday also produced no calls . Today was offered a few shortys picking up after midnight , which I refused . Shortly thereafter got the call .....8am pick up in Flint going down to MT. Vernon , IL. At least it's a start.

Well, a friend of mine was in the expedite business driving a straight truck for someone . He was driving from Chicago to Deliver in Delaware . He needed a relief driver because he didn't think he could make it in time . I met him and rode with him there and back . After that I did some research...

Oh geez , now you did it .......he's gonna ramble.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY :happyhappy:

That is really a crock ! I've only been with two companies that have had the " escrow " and I was always leery about it , just for what you have stated . Money is there for them to "take back " for whatever they feel.

Thank you Roamin . From what I've researched and after talking to my Freightliner guy , that ballpark area is what we are thinking it is . Be safe .

If it's more than what I think ......your right . Time to move on . But if I can get another year , or even fifty to sixty more loads while I find the right used truck , then I'll pay the six hundred to a Grand for this .

I don't venture much outside of the " ZONE " for us , just for that reason . When I stay in the main MI, OH, KY, IN, IL areas , they have been working me everyday that I'm in service . Occassionally ( is that too many letters ) I'll get stuck for a day , but not too often .

Well after some research while sleeping at the consignee ....I found that this is fairly common on my cat 3126 engine . Should be just a sensor . But to be safe , will get oil change and fuel filters done as well . If it's any more than this , it's time to take the old girl out to pasture . Ps...

Unloaded early in Troy , MI. Ride north engine light kept coming on every 60 miles or so , truck would start to shut down , then would resume normal speeds again . I decided better take it to the vet before I have to put her down . ( not really , but she is getting old ) . Have a great week fellas
