If a truck is on a less than 75 status and is capable of making an on time pick up they will be offered the load. Expess center does not matter. I find the VRU to be more accurate than the Clink when checking express center status. Sent from my EVO using EO Forums

My question is why? After 48 hours without a load we ask for and usually get a relocate or at least authorized deadhead to a more active express center. Relocating isn't very profitable but sitting for that many days is a bank account breaker.

What kind of oil do those motors use? A gallon of Delvac at Walmart is only about $13.

My wife renewed hers last week. Florida uses digital scanning instead of ink and cards.

When we had our clutch replaced in 2010 on our Eaton 10 speed Ultrashift the bill came to $2944. That included a new clutch, used flywheel, new input shaft, seals and all labor.

I was in AIT at Fort Sill, OK. While not a blizzard, Fort Sill did experience one of there worst ever snow storms that year. We dug out all the roads with entrenching tools and waste paper cans.
