Hey Jackrabbit379,
I just sold my truck and got the 01 Volvo. When you buy any trucks, or fuel,or do repairs try to go to a city with one of our terminals. You'll get a discount and it takes no fatigue points. I got $600 off the truck price in Jacksonville. :wink:

DAYUM!! I think I saw a post on SEE's website. Did you leave them? Who do you work for now? They are working hard to get some contracts, or so they say.

I left SEE and went to Canadian Freightways. They seem to ALWAYS have multi contracts. Plus they have 16 or 17 terminals.

How big is your company? You get cheaper fuel and repairs at a terminal, so it's better to be with a company that has lots of terminals. :wink:
I'm getting $1.13/mile for glass from Jacksonville to Charlotte. Also, get on a contract with your company. Like Malaki said, you can make GOOD money on a contract. :wink:
As soon as you can, get out of those cabovers and upgrade! Even if you have to take out a loan. :wink:
Don't drive over 10 hours! When FP is at 11, don't do anything, but rest.

Another thing...edit your driver and make sure your gamestyle is set to casual, instead of standard. You get a month to deliver. You can still deliver early, but this way, if you forget to log on for a few days, you won't be late for delivery and have to pay the charges. :wink:

South Eastern Express 8)
I can't get myself to work for Canadian Freightways, because they're the largest. It would be like working for JBHunt. :lol: :P
