I want to say thank you to Jordan Foley how made my day. Because of this men Im stuck in Nc with a trailer full of candy and they want to use my trailer as a storage till Friday. The problem is they mess up the appt time and want me to stay till Friday. They dont want to solve the problems other way. For example bringing the load back to shipper or finding a storage to drop the load. They want me to stay here 4 days. Thank you guys. You are the best. Wish u to go out of business soon and I will send you candy.

They make you feel like family even if you're just a ride-along. It's always a pleasure to visit the terminal.

I've been here a little over 3 months and so far it's been iffy
*Pros:
*They keep you running
*.55cpm
*Home time you can count on
*Cons:
*Their systems shut down three times in one month
**The way the trucks are set up
Frightliner:
*2.10 rear gear
*Automatic 12 speed
*Cheap driver seat (passenger seat is the stock Freightliner seat)
*65 mph pedal 68 mph cruise(Company)
70 mph pedal 75 mph cruise (lease)
But if you hit your gas pedal you'll revert back to 65!!!! So you can't get around anybody doing 65 because you're 4 seconds behind the truck you're trying to pass

Chit chatted with a driver. He was the nicest guy. He gave me a soup bone for my newly adopted Saint Bernard.

The drivers need to learn how to pay attention to their surroundings and stay off their phones while driving. One pulled out in front of me almost causing a accident. They where on there cellphone not even paying attention. Im not one to leave reviews and I am a truck driver myself but peoples lives are at steak here one wrong move and you kill someone. Too many new truckers don't understand that concept.
