The guy at Shrevesport also said that up until recently, they were only working 4 days a week and no 3rd shift....maybe the guy is a part time "truck driver" and he learned his "strytelling" at the "TA just down the road...but all i can say is they were not there when i called security on friday...

I think up until about 18 months ago Load 1 was the great unknown..then they contracted to a bunch of goofs that after seeing the numbers in black and white realized that the idea of "Running Less, and Making More" was real and could be acheived here. That group has done well and has brought...

Hey now...you can leave me out of this conversation....:)

If anyone is replacing the battery in ANY (except the volt) Ele / Hybrid in 2-3 yrs, it is after they have had it 10 yrs 150,000 miles...because that is how long the companies had to warranty them here in the US to get the FED tax breaks...GM / Volt warranties their battery for 8yrs 100,000...

You know, this business just reaches up and slaps you every once in a while..and being with a good carrier means it will do that more often then not... This week looked to be pretty crappy..1 run and sat in Texas all week. DH to Laredo on my own dime thinkin I'd have a better chance of getting...
