    Pulled my Silverado into the service department of my Chevy dealer just now for a service appointment. Gotta give my sales guy credit for being a hustler.

    “You still working nights?”
    “Yep”
    “Ugh, that sucks man. Tell ya what, instead of sitting here waiting for a few hours, I’ll put you in a new Z71 loaner. Come pick up your truck when it’s convenient sometime this week.”
    “Ok, but I’m not buying a new truck until I pay this one off”
    “That’s what they all say.”

    Savages.

    The digital version of the check never did show up for me, not sure what that's about.

    Anyways it was a pretty average week as far as pay goes, which is crazy when you compare it to @McUzi having a great week and making twice as much. I screwed myself out of an extra turn one day and on another day they only had enough for the top few drivers, but I mostly made up for the lack of miles with hours on the clock. I got to work the yard on one of those days since a few hostlers had called in sick and I had a blast moving trailers around for 6 hours. The hour of delay was made up of a few minutes of run-time delay due to traffic, my ELD not working correctly, and a piece of the 5th wheel latch on my favorite dolly broke off.

    Are you a Silver Eagle dolly kind of guy? I used to be until I snagged a D13000 series Hyundai dolly. That thing is like butter. Hopefully you killed it in the yard to the point where you can start to slide in as a regular jockey.
