Time for a "new" truck
Just got word today from my FM, My truck has been sold. (Ive been expecting the notification) I'll be heading for Springfield, Oh terminal on Monday to turn it in. :sad: Its been a real good truck and its my 3rd Classic XL with the company. I immediatly called Fleet Assignments in Springfield and told her of my arrival and to get me into another Classic. She said at the moment she has no trucks available, and I know the company has a "freeze" on assigning new trucks. (but, could only get KW new at springfield anyway). She will be getting trucks in this weekend and she has my request. Just hope I dont get somebody elses wreck.
Retired as company truck with 347k miles. Somebody is getting themselves a good truck. http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x...-16-18_017.jpg Looks like Ill be working on a new avator come monday also. |
I always love it when a company "retires" a truck from the fleet before they have a replacement in stock.
For the short time I was with PTL a few years ago they were doing that at such a rate they had anywhere from 15-20 current drivers sitting in motel rooms waiting on trucks and then there was the 10-15 new hires also sitting around waiting on trucks. |
347k doesn't sound like very many miles for a big truck to be replaced.
