I assume he doesn't have my phone number anymore? I thought I had given it to him back when I was broken down in Wyoming a couple years ago. I will try to give him a call when I get a chance at a reasonable hour and I remember at that same time. Tell him to PM me on one of the other boards and I'll drop him my number. (namely, the one we met on. I have issues with it for the same reason he doesn't go there anymore) I haven't posted enough on here to be able to send IM's. Either way, I'll try to give him a call tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to getting back behind the wheel. This weekend off has kicked my butt. I need to get back to work so I can recover. LOL

Yup. That bad wind was also on OK fuel. But that extreme low price on fuel in OK is nice. Just wish the fuel economy would stay up. LOL

I'll have to treat some of you guys to a meal when you come for orientation. Good luck!
I have been to Sapulpa once in four months

Anyone else?
Out of your selection the Freightliner Classic is the lightest. Also my warranty is for 500,000 miles. I have 28,000 miles left

JCT

Hello again to all. Thanks for your response to my previous questions. I am also wondering about the physical their website talks about. Is that a regular DOT physical, or is it some kind of activity thing? Thanks.
