i have seen a lot of bad trucks also, most of the drivers/owners say that they are on tx dedicated. i guess they come over from ktl or standards are a little lower.

I'm on my own now. Truck number 91144. I finished up in DM and had to go to Indianapolis to pick up my truck. They tried to send us all in a TMC van, nine large males and all their gear. I said the heck with that and rented a car out of my own pocket. Three of us rode in luxury. The down side was we didn't get any sleep. So the day I was assigned my truck and received all my equipment I had less than two hours of sleep. I told my dispatcher I didn't want to run until the next morning, no problem. I picked up a load of plastic pipe in Muncie, IN delivered to Fayetteville, AR. Then I had to make like greased lightening over to Joplin, MO, TAMKO, for a load of shingles going to Kerrville, TX. They will load you, if you check in before 1500, luckily I had been there before and made it with one minute to spare. That was cutting it kind of close. You gotta love that GPS! I actually made it there 15 minutes early, but by the time I scaled and found a place to park I had only the one minute to spare. I got to stop by the house, where I am now. I reset for my 34 tomorrow morning at 0600. It is only two hours to the consignee. Hopefully I will pick up something in Laredo and have a chance to get my ten at home tomorrow.

Congratulations Jarhead
When you come up here to pick up a load at Lousiana/Pacific Mill in Sagola let me know

Thanks yoopr, I'll let you know!

TMC pulls a lot of loads out of there-You don't want to come up now though-Going on 2' of snow and still snowing and you being a Texan you'd die :P

YOOPR DONT KNOW ANYTHING HE IS IN ALL THESE COMPANYS POCKETS

Terry, congratulations! Good to hear out of you again,I've been wondering about you,begining to think the bugger man ate you.What did you end up with for a tractor? Thanks and good luck , Jim.

Come on now, who are you trying to fool. I know it doesn't snow anymore than a trace amount every four or five years. :D

Not the bugger man, the time management man, and believe me, he is much scarier! They gave me a 379 with 185,000 miles on it. I guess that means I get to swap it out for a new one in a few months. 8) It is much smaller than the 387 my trainer has. It is hard to get between the seats. I think it has more horse power than his 387. I'm happy. Let's see where the wind blows me tomorrow. Laredo I bet. :cry:

CONGRATS TERRY!!!! :party: :party: :party:
