Estes | equipment issues

[Truckdriver0625]

been here little over 7 months now running xtra board, was told by tm when hired in new trucks coming soon.i have been driving an old 8600 beater international with 850,000 miles since I started.it's cramped, it's loud and it's a tired truck.what's a guy gotta do to get a decent piece of equipment to drive around here?don't get me wrong, i like the job central runs me good but this beater is starting to get old fast, any suggestions, running outta 109

Man I’ve been at 017 for 4 months started P&D switch to linehaul. I got a 600 daily mile run layover with a Volvo that I have used 1/3 of the time cause it’s always in the shop. Every other time I get KW glider crap or a 8600 dirty crap. My back is killing me I can’t take this crappy equipment anymore and I’m always on the side of the road doing park regen or other reasons. I got an interview next week at NFI they have a great opening for a run that pays similar to my Estes run.

Ya like the 352 Volvo will be there when you show up ha ha

That's what I would do. Especially if you're a Sunday start. Central isn't going to tell you you can't take anything as long as it has an e on the door they don't care.

That starts a chain reaction

Must have found a good parking spot

The Indy city cops allow a lot of delivery drivers leeway to double park to run the delivery inside. Their are limits, but they usually let them park to deliver packages. Now, it it is 3 skids of book cartons, not so much. von.
