    I simply don't use it anymore.I got tired of the mess left by others, grease everywhere, brushes used to wash greasy parts of the truck, etc...It is so sad, really.We should not expect John to have someone to clean up after ourselves.I go down the street.And I stay clean, grease-free.What a...

    It was a 3 pm pickup, so I thought maybe they were a little slammed in there, and would get to it when they had time.Called, they're looking into it.Gotta admit, we do have the nicest dispatchers, so pleasant. Mike Jr is such a peach!

    Not so fast, there, Buckaroo!!. I am getting the feeling the load cancelled, or something...It is not showing up on Fleetvision, and not on the q-c. They ask us not to call, and I fully understand why.So I send a q-c message.No reply, as of an hour ago.Should I try smoke signals? Brail...

    Broke down during a loaded run?

    Does this cover a van of you're size to be towed? Reason I ask, I had coverage by AAA as well, and the towing company wouldn't tow it under AAA because of the size of my van.Had to pay out of pocket.

    Broke down during a loaded run?

    Yea, I was wondering what the power steering going out had to do with the alternator as well.Belt tensioner makes perfect sense.Might as well replace the idler pulley as well.A new good quality belt wouldn't hurt as well.

    Broke down during a loaded run?

    Layoutshooter is correct.Take a Saturday, and remove every battery and alternator as well as all ground connections, and clean them to a shine.Then put them back on, and spray them with some anti-corrosion spray.With wintertime coming up, it is much easier to do it now in the nice weather, then...

    working for multiple companies, which are the good one and bad ones???

    I would think that any company that allows owner-operators to be leased to several companies at once must not pay that well, or is not able to keep a driver busy enough to begin with, With them being the sole provider of freight... just sayin'.. Find ONE good company, and stick with...
