    Who cares if people recognize you off the board as long as you do not bash or talk crap nobody is going to care. Every company I have gone to knew I was on the board and people recognized the tattoo. LOL I got the Bravo View INV 600 watt Power inverter $38.86 off eBay. It comes highly recommended. I also got the xpressway bluetooth head set I had one in the past and it works great also off eBay for $71.99 both came with free shipping.

    Just a quick update, my son and I went to the yard Friday to clean the truck out but it was not ready during the B service the tech noticed the bad tires as well and red tagged the truck so I got new steers and 4 drives on the rear axel. So since we could not clean the truck I got all the supplies I needed and my son and I attended the safety meeting, it was interesting and we got lunch. Yesterday my wife and son went to the yard with me and helped me clean the truck, it was a mess took about 2 hours for the 3 of us to get it to my standards. I live in that thing and expect it to be clean like my house. Rugs will go in when I head out tonight or tomorrow morning. Looks like first load will be bobtail to local hay supplier and pull it to the port drop.

    Thanks. I appreciate it. Another guy from orientation got a 2012 Volvo with 120k miles on it. He had to pick it up in Vegas. So decent trucks for the 3 that went port.

    Just watch your volts with those. Knight likes to take one battery off the truck and leave only three instead of four. Its a money saving thing for them but screws the driver around when they get weak.

    The way it 'works,' is that 3000 CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) are reqd in the trucks: Freightliner used 4 x 750 CCA, where Volvo used 3 x 1000 CCA....but in either case, the larger inverters tend to eat them up b4 'their time.'
