I noticed the same thing yesterday.
I get to the Yard maybe 2 to 3 times a month , yet every time there's several Trucks/Van's
sitting in same spot every time .Yes , I understand most are Fleet Owners trucks/Van's waiting to be filled with Drivers. But after 30 days sitting "Couldn't " they be Relocated elsewhere ?
It would Free Up alot of Possible Active Use Truck spots .
Just My Opinion ....

Agreed. We try and limit the amount of time an empty unit is parked here. Not going to lie, its a challenge being the parking lot police.
I was going to suggest a ( Classified for Sale ) parking area , but that would just be Mean ...

" LOAD 1 "
Yesterday was a good start to my week. I took the family to Wild Adventures in Valdosta, GA for a great day of riding amusement park rides and water park slides.
My truck is in the shop having a new clutch installed on the Ultrashift transmission.
Ill be home until after the 4th.

And get this.....its sunny and not raining in Taylor....strange...
The supply and demand for rain this year is a tad off balanced
Maybe the cries have been heard?

What is up with clutches lately?
Last week I started having clutch issues. Dropped it off at the shop and when they took off the transmission the input shaft had lots of play in it, ie, the transmission was on its last leg. I am at 748k miles and I almost scrapped the whole truck. When I bought it my plan was to drive it to 750k miles and then replace it. I found a much newer, nicer truck that I liked, but I just couldn't justify paying 2k a month for a few years. Happier with my non DPF, non DEF, non EGR truck. Can't do California, but I don't really mind.
So I dropped it at the shop Friday afternoon and I picked it up Monday evening. New clutch, rear seal, fork, machined flywheel, rebuilt transmission with a year unlimited miles warranty. Should last for the next 250k miles, then I can retire the truck.
The shop is A.C.T. Truck & Trailer in Elyria, OH. The guy is a former Load 1 driver that quit driving and opened the shop with his son. I had them do small things in the past and am very happy with their service.
Now back at it. Here hoping for 1,000,000 miles.

Some days I feel like I have over 2 million miles on me.... LOL
As much as you fly I wouldn't be surprised if you have well over 2 million air miles.
