    I'm just excited to be working again and doing a job I think I will enjoy. I was a customer service rep for Blue Cross Blue Shield before this <slit wrists>. No more cubicle and I get to get some dirt under the fingernails.

    Who's getting excited? I worked for Roehl in 2008. I'm just anxious to get all the preliminary stuff out of the way. Nothing wrong with looking forward to something.

    I never drove a 13 myself. 10 is easy. 1-5 low, flip the switch 6-10 high.

    I'm driving over from Fort Wayne and getting dropped off by the wife. Wish I'd found the laminated one for that price, I had to pay 50. The laminated ones are great to use dry erase marker on when you're doing your route plan. When I worked at Roehl in 2008 I had an international I believe it was 2004 or 2005. It wasn't great but not bad either. I like that it had the extra sleeper windows especially on a nice night for some fresh air. Most of the ones I see driving through here are the freightliners. I know back in 08 they had a bunch of new ones 07 I think sitting in marshfield.

    If you need a ride to orientation from the hotel just let me know. Luckily the Flying J and Pilot were out of the atlases or I would have had to pay full price. I stopped at that Loves as a last resort and got lucky they were on sale.

    The 13 speed was easy for me I'm just wondering if the actual pattern is different on the 10.

    No, that's one of many trannys Eaton offers. 4th and 5th are reversed. I beleive it's called an underdrive, instead of overdrive.

    looks like it's different from a 13 speed. I'll figure it out. Thanks for posting the pattern.
