    took 15 minutes to tie down .... It was very relaxing - only needed height permits from FL to TX.

    I am only 73’ overall length - kinda sports car-ish

    @Rontonio Looks like you loaded in Ocala..... Last time I was there, that lot was slam full of stuff, could barely move around to get loaded.

    You getting the hang of that auto? How about the rest of it? Making notes for the next one already?

    I am disliking the truck less than before....

    I am getting the hang of it and after the reprogram it is working much better. It shifts so smooth most of the time you can hear it but not really feel it.

    Since I have not run any loads over 120k, I still haven’t seen the true nature of the truck. Hoping to change that in the next couple weeks.
    I have 4 years til delivery of the next one but it is never to early to start a list
