And we don't pay any kind of recruiting or referral bonuses. So it's not like it benefits anyone to churn O/Os our way. .

Maybe we need to talk about this Murray! I sent you 2 great drivers! LOL

I hope dispatch has someone reading the macro point since it seems the phone system seems to be down,

KickStarter6 · Nov 30, 2014

Waiting around until time to leave to for KC

Can a straight truck driver or owner explain the reason why so many of the "custom" sleepers in used trucks are so ugly?

By ugly what do you mean? What are you seeing?
Dirt? busted cabinets? The way they are layed out?
Or is it the fact 1,or 2 people (or more) lived in the 4 ft box for so long that it has taken its toll on the sleeper? Condition of the sleeper would be one of my least concerns. Taken into account but not a deal breaker as long as the structure of the sleeper was sound..Cabinets and carpet are cheap and can be done/replaced over the weekend.

Well I'm sure we moved a lot of loads then! Customers can't call in, we can't call in, maybe they locked the doors and walked away? I sent a message thru the macro point a few hours ago..... No answer. Hope the don't charge us for this week since that thing is useless

Color schemes and just general layout. They all remind me of old 70's mobile homes and RV's

Won't know how many moved until we see pro and travel order numbers.. At that it will only give ya general idea.
I wouldn't put alot of faith in getting the macro answered. Never had much luck with that.
I don't know what's going on over there.. Seems a little weird to me that any business would be this long without phones..Time will tell I guess..

Surely someone would've figured out the phones are down by now?
