    I think the TA94's are the heaviest, just a hair over 14K

    A simple solution that most people don't know about is to buy a wireless keyboard and mouse. Plug the USB fob into the left side of the MCP and you never have to touch the screen or the slide out keyboard.

    Sadwar, notice your fuel gauge is still low. I hope your sitting down when you fill those tanks.

    Dropping $900 will get your bp up....... Njoy !

    Brought the truck to the hotel last night. Got up this morning and moved all my stuff into it. Had planned on taking it out for a nice long spin, but overnight all the air leaked out. So I took it back to the shop and they had to order parts for it. So it's still in the shop and should be done tomorrow. We have choice training in the morning and then we are done, but they're saying freezing rain and snow all day tomorrow, so I'll probably just hang out till Friday. We'll see what happens. Today I had a 30 minute meeting with SFI, a wrap up of everything we covered on Monday. Lots of good loads leaving from this area on Thurs Fri and Sat. We'll see where I go for an empty.

    Stay frosty......

    We are done. I am being sent 225 west to Menomonie, WI to pick up an empty. Unfortunately they are getting 10" of snow today. So I will wait until tomorrow afternoon to head over there. Some nice paying loads leaving from the area, so shouldn't be so bad. Gotta go see if my truck is fixed.....

    Much better. Congrats on getting through training, getting the truck, and being ready to roll! Get away from that fluffy white crap though.

    BTW, what is the display with 0.0 to the right of your trans temp gauge? I thought it was some kind of clock at first but if its 0.0 o'clock we got some problems.

    So were the mystery switches, just mystery switches that they removed to put the QC bracket there?
