Has anyone else experienced this?
When you change companies, you are 1/2 or 2/3 of a week down for orientation & paperwork. Then you are back on the road.
Switching trucks, I will have been down a full two weeks!!!

OK, on a Tuesday afternoon, I checked w/ dispatch, and they said they didn't have a specific next load for me, and they said it would be best that I head home & check with them in the A.M., so I did.
I get home & check Truck Paper online. I find my dream truck, a 2006 Volvo 780 w/ 465 HP Volvo engine & autoshift. So I call the Volvo dealer & find out it was still available. So I give them a CC# to hold it. Weds A.M. 1st thing, I go to my credit union and apply for a used car loan (like I had done 5 years prior for my 1st truck). I filled out appl., and expected to be heading toward the dealer in the afternoon with a check. No such luck. The C.U. calls me & says that the rules had changed, I'd have to apply for a "business loan" instead. So I go back to C.U. & fill out appl.
I sit at home, waiting & waiting. I expected any moment to hear a check was ready. No such luck. They tell me "a 3rd party" was evaluating the loan. I wait & wait some more. FINALLY, late Friday afternoon, just before the CU closed, the check was ready. So I call the dealer with the good news.
I thought I could go to dealer Saturday morning, but no such luck. Salesman says truck won't be ready until at least Monday morning, and to call him then (I live about 5 hours away).
So Monday morning I call, and he says truck won't be ready until noon Tuesday. So I leave early Tuesday A.M. for Savannah from Orlando area. I get there, do paperwork, switch 5 years worth of junk from one truck to the other, and find out they do NOT have the Title!!! Volvo Corp. does!!!
I
cannot lease back on to my company, until my application for FL Title is complete.
Then I also find out Title is being sent to Savannah dealer 1st instead of directly to me. So here I STILL sit waiting & waiting. I'm hoping tomorrow is
FINALLY the day I get the Title, but no guarantees of even that.
I'm just hoping my co. still remembers who I am when I arrive w/new truck. :eek2:
