I get a loaner truck top continue my load that delivers at 03:00 09/12 and 4.3 miles from the terminal the truck engine shuts down and the check engine light and stop engine light are flashing lol freaking loaners man.

Terminal:

A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

You might try taking 5 - 6 days of home time. You might get lucky and they'll ask you to clean out your truck. Of course I haven't tried it but I'll bet it works at my terminal. LOL

Do you mean a brand new truck, or just any available truck? I imagine it depends on the day but supposedly Phoenix is the place to go if you need a different truck. That's where my friend got his first truck and he actually got to pick which one he wanted lol
