Speaking of sunshine. Good Sunday morning to all!

And sadly RIP Nancy Reagan. Loss of an icon.

Been busy fixing the van from all the winter damage and stupid shippers and then basic maintenance like brakes and oil change.

Just a little while ago unloading, had a hi low driver slam into the back of my Sprinter, didn't notice my bumper Errrr!

I'm sure her blonde hair had nothing to do with it

The first week I had my Sprinter, I was parked at the bottom of the ramp to be unloaded as I was told, and the forklift operator came down the ramp at a rather high rate of speed, and never hit the brakes until after he'd slammed into the rear bumper. Took a sledgehammer to beat it back down. Fortunately, I had the transmission in neutral, the parking brake on, and the weeks were chocked. Otherwise the transmission parking gear would have been gone.

I never park at the bottom of the ramp for just that reason.....I always park off to the side and piss them off.

Can't beat that level of customer service and satisfaction lol.

And good morning gang from rainy but warm Taylor Michigan.

So where are the straight trucks and teams? Are you guys sitting or rolling? How is March shapping up for everyone? 3215 has been sitting just outside of Atl since Tuesday morning. All we have been offered has been a short mileage solo sprinter run or two. Guess the sprinters showing in the area don't even want them and those runs can't feed two drivers.........again can't seem to close on the 1 to 2 bid offers we got calls about......arrg! This place has been like a cemetery since last month just after the layover pay change was released. It seems like no one wants to post about any load issues. Would love to hear from you straight truck teams.........whats going on?
