    i think 'neutered' is an understatement....1375?? can you even get up a 1% grade pulling an MT trailer with that?

    Seeing how you are a puppy a "shiney 290" could. Why not a 335 driven by a real driver?

    Better go look that 290 term up SWH.




    I guess next we are going to compare tally whacker sizes?

    As far as I know you don't have any say in the matter. That's not to say it is a bad thing. The Millington Academy was, in my opinion, a fine institution of higher learning. The instructors were very knowledgeable and taught us well. Also, it is in a good safe area with a major terminal close by so there was never a shortage of range trucks. They were forever breaking but there was always a wave of replacements being brought up from Memphis. You can walk to WalMart, the grocery store, and other shopping from the Hotel so all-in-all a pretty convenient situation.
     
    Texas-Nana Thanks this.
