I guess you could go in there and yell, "Every lost minute is another lost customer to Chinese steel!!!"

Of course you might not want to do that either.

Yeah, I don't have your computer or writing skills to support myself when I get canned for that ;)

I am sorry that you had to experience this and hope all works out for you. In the end you learned a very important lesson, GPS is nothing more than a tool we use. The only devices we can fully rely on are our brains and eyes. We use all the tools at our disposal, but have to rely on what we see in front of us. Always drive slow enough amd leave enough distance to come to a stop if the situation ahead calls for it.

We all make mistakes while we are learning and guess what, we're all still learning! I have been lucky in that I have not hit anything but I have found myself on no truck routes and having to negotiate some very tight situations both forward and backwards due to rushing and not relying on the information my eyes were giving me amd blindly following company navigation.

Again I hope all works out for you and I am glad you and nobody else were hurt.

When they are running good and on time, it's great. When they are behind...HHHHOOOOOLLLLLLYYYY CCCCRRRRRAAAAPPPP!!! Gonna be here a while, when this happens I am reminded of my days pulling a reefer for Prime lol.

The flatbed division here, Swift, is not bad at all. Would recommend as a starting point to anyone.

Check with Swift and Western Express if you have not done so. However you may be forced to wait until the last ticket is at least three years old. Oh and slow down ;)

Look at US Xpress also if you want to team. They do a lot as far as teams go.

Yep, all the Melton drivers I talk to are satisfied. Good equipment and they have APU's...man I miss my APU.

Thanks guys. I knew bungees had no rating and just have tehem on my cabinet to keep the door from vibrating. They are locked by the handle. Will just take them of I guess.

Here is everything in it's proper place :)

Truck was in the shop, I was rearranging. Everything is in it's proper place now. Thanks though.
