ok it is my turn to be on top now!! it's fun to be on top you have a better view of things.... :shock:

i work for a service that has run all type II's for years and has since bought a few type III's. the owner said that he was going to buy a new units about a year and a half ago. after had ordered it and said where he ordered it from i told him that the companies around where i live that operate those kind hate them. i had also not heard anything good about the company. when it was delivered it was neat at first, then five minutes later we all hated. have told the owner and managers that we should not take a ortho pt in it, it is too rough. we have tried to get rid of the truck for a year now. he has told us that when it gets 100,000 miles on it we will sell it. i told him we should do it now before we get to many miles on it, and are stuck with it. we are also getting ready to purchase a new unit. this time it is with a popular company, and a type III. if there is any one that would want a sprinter, we have a standard wheel base lowtop with all led lights with still low mileage let me know i can try to talk the owner into selling it. the employees will even pay to get rid of it. it rides rough, it does not have much room in the back, the seating all around is not comfortable, some of the cabinets don't work right. but it does get good mileage.

my wife and i just got into it the other day. it all started when i told her that i had to go in and work a few hours for a fellow FF. she the informed me that i am never home. (a little background-- i work full time for FD, and then part time mon-fri 8-4 for ambulance and go to school two nights a week now.) especially this week coming up, i work on mon-24, tues 8-4, wed-24, thurs 8-4, then class 6-10 fri- 24. i asked her what she wants me to do. i have been in ems and working 24's since before we meet. after quite a bit of fighting i finally said that i would quite and find another job if that is what she wants. i have 6yr on FD and 9yrs at ambulance. i get to pick and choose my runs at ems and get to leave most of the time on time. every now and then i have to stay late. i have tried to convince her that this is the job that i do, i do love it. later that day she did come and apologize and tell me not to quite. sometimes i am not sure what she wants me to do. any help would be good.
