Yikes it is you! That is alright though! My husband told Matt he was planning on running until the 21st of December but Matt mentioned they may bring him early in case the new driver of his truck will be in Missoula before then.My husband told me this today about what Matt had said! Then my husband told me about another driver with Davis that he ran into in Texas that was already on the L/O plan that was scouting out his truck. He was looking to upgrade to a 2007. He even asked my husband if he could look inside his truck and asked him allot of questions about it. My husband also saw the same Davis driver in San Diego California. He thought he had been the one who already put in a request for the truck! I told him I had posted it here also. Then I read your post and gave my husband a call and let him know that this may be his last week. He will be happy to answer any questions you may have. I think you would be smart if want it to go for it now as you have done. As I have heard that the 10 people that are currently on the L/O will get first choice on the trucks. If you put this in now and get it soon and he does at the end of the month by then the truck is gone, it would be yours. Kind of throws a little damper in our plans but who knows as long as Systems Transport will allow my husband to take Christmas off it may go better than we could have planned....everything will work out. I have a temporary office job starting Monday with the county office it will be for around two to three weeks. I have not been in an office setting for more than 19 years. So this should be interesting. I have helped a few family members with BIG time legal hassles as I studied to be a paralegal. Before that around 12 years ago I closed down my business and made the determination that my children were number 1 in my life. I know I have to be nice again in an office setting even if I am dealing with nutcases!!! Darn!!! See one thing I did like about my business is I could tell people there is the door do not let in hit you where the sun does not shine! Since my 16 year old is now driving it is a different story! It is like WOW mom is actually going to go to work????? I am going to PM you with my husband's number call this weekend as we are out of our anytime minutes. We are Verizon Network. Our anytime minutes will change over on 13th of this month. Weekends are always free and Verizon to Verizon is always free also. He will be MORE than happy to answer any questions regarding miles or anything else you would like to know. Hey this is a big investment for you. He has driven this since I believe it was June after they had it in a truck show! He said your possible new baby is dirty and needs a bath BIG TIME! Take Care and do not be silly use the number I pm you as this is a MAJOR investment in your life! Last edited by Goin Fer It's Wife; 12.07.2007 at 11.44 PM..

I am one that doesnt count on anything till it happens .... I know when I was talking to Jim .... he said that they still had 4 '06 condos available .... so not sure if everyone was looking at getting the '07 first .... that is the reason that I snuck in for his .... if I am going to pay the money like this I want something that is pretty newer .... less chance of failures on the truck Sorry about the damper on plans .... I am scheduled to be in Missoula the 14th or 15th .... but like I said ... I am not sure if that is the truck they are going to hand over to me or not .... I told them I was looking at getting a condo mostly because they have more room in the sleeper area I will send ya a PM with my cell .... I use AT&T .... if he calls I can call him back to save his time .... not sure if your incoming is free or not .... I have to empty in Belgrade Wed .... was hoping for tuesday but wed will be the earliest and that depends on the weather coming thru Iowa .... running in from NC Anyways .... have a good one and talk to you later |

Anyway my husband was driving so I am going to call and leave your number later for him. He said tomorrow would be a good time to chat. Verizon on the weekends is free incoming or out going. How many 2007 Condo's do they have? I just know that this one they had used in some truck show before my husband received it and Matt did ask my husband if he was a smoker which he is not so this truck has never been smoked in. (I do have that nasty habit though) My husband said he cannot fit his refrigerator behind the seat (I believe) but there is allot more room in the sleeper. Allot more compartments to put stuff in and he was happy that in the morning he did not have to stoop while getting dressed.....he said that took some getting use to as he would start to dress and think oh yeah I do not have to worry about smacking my head if I stand up all the way ![]() Actually next weekend will work out well for us as I will not be working on Saturday and will be able to pick him up in Missoula. Take Care |

| The internationals are a great value when you buy them and I personally like them. unfortunatly you need to keep them a long time as the resale on them is so low. Good deal if you buy used, not so great if you buy new. Don't se where the fuel milage will be any better than a W9 though unless ou go with a 9200 with full lower fairings, and for that I'd stick with the T6. I'm in the same boat as you my friend. I love the classics but my head constantly tells me it's a stupid move with fuel prices like they are. Just remember, it's only gone go up, it will ever go back down |
