Hey DD, you guys had to bail me out today. I'm sitting in Burlington VT. The EGR went on my truck and got towed to a dealer in Jehrico VT. The IC with the Western Star took my load. Kind of sucks cuz the run is 500 miles from Allyns Pt to Beaupre and been running that pretty regular and getting some miles in. So paid day off today so I guess I'll head back down to the pool. Uz Guyz watch uz self out dare ahhh

Thats what you get for having a brand new truck. I am still rocking one of the old Freightliners. Has 695,000 miles on it. Runs great. I have had 2 different drivers with new Internationals offer to trade with me. All I have had go wrong with it is a windshield wiper motor and a coolant hose. Each one only cost me a couple of hours for which I was paid.

Yea I like mine, it'll run 72 on the floor. It will be up for sale in the new year.

Hopefully I will be gettin one of those Pro Stars when we get em. I heard that we arent gettin any more of the Eagle class Internationals?

I blew my engine on '01 international last week, only had 524k miles on it. My terminal in Paulsboro had no other spare truck so I've got a loaner from another terminal. It was filthy dirty inside as usual.

Superior Carriers, Inferior trucks.

My Freightliner has 788k on it and runs great. I'd just as soon keep on running with it but I believe they'll be retiring it after the first of the year. My speedometer says she'll do about 72, but my GPS says it's actually 69.

My 03 had 650K on it. It purred like a kitten. Wasn't much on the hills, but she never left me stranded. The long grades out west really got the gal hot

Them old freightliners are fine, IF you're a midget that travels with only the clothes on your back

Been gone from Superior for over a month now, I miss the place. Thinking of coming back.

Its pretty damn slow here in Atlanta. Been home since Friday. My dispatch told me that there is no freight until Maybe Tuesday or Wensday. Hope all you guys can tough it out. I know I will, its just too good of a place to leave because of slow freight.

I could have came in today and worked some local, but I really don't like local work. There're guys out there that need it more than me.

Superior 4 LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hahahahahahhahah

Yea dispatch called me Saturday morning. Told me that they possibly had some loads going out that night or Sunday morning and wanted to know if I was interested because there would probably be no freight until Wednesday. I told them I would be ready, but it didn't go through.

Oh well, I will be chillen here at the house until they need me. I need to catch up on some T.V.

Anyone still working for Carry that post here? I see blu hasent posted since 10/07 dont want to bug her if shes out doing her own thing. is the pay the same as the first page in this thread has listed? I put my app in agian they are looking for drivers in the lafayette term.(first time told me to finish getting my first yr under my belt)

Only thing that worries me about switching jobs is the test ride, 1 nvr done tanks before, 2 dbl clutching whats that . I havent dbl clutched since 2 days after leaving my trainers truck. Cant believe its been almost 2 yrs since then. On a check ride I would just be on edge like im under a microscope.

Im just tring to get some updated info etc if its on their website I cant find it.

Thanks
Troy
