when you were and waitting toget out from home and outside trucks kept coming in and you had all those truck ahead of you
then you got a run because they all turn run down
less than 75 runs
some of dispatcher knew how to talk to there drivers and get run covered, sometime you could get a little extra on the run
my first truck was 1800 ud with a sleeper and dan schultz sold it to me and he work at ford dealer
wade ford in arkon area
then moved to freightliner of knox, then my favor truck western star from tsi

Who can recall coming back to the truck and missing 2 or 3 load offers?

I just remember the crappy, unreliable pagers that worked from the QC. In all fairness it was first generation technology on some that stuff. But the frustration at the moment. Stays with me till this day....LOL!

Oh yes I remember...QC device couldn`t reach more than a truck or two away. I disconnected mine PDQ and went back to the Radio Shack model.

I remember that Lawrence. I also remember having a 2251 mile load time out on me because of those C-link pagers. That was the worst feeling to find out you just lost a great load.
