    I passed my drive test this morning. No points on drive 2 points for my backing because I forgot my flashers when I started. We played a lottery for who wanted what trucks, 388s or 379s. I wanted a 388, and was given one of the 5. My fleet manager is Randy and he is based in Joplin. Supposed to call him later on and start getting my truck ready by tomorrow at 3pm. Gonna try to have out ready tonight so I can go out in the am. I wanted a 388 because I don't like the 579s and all their issues

    Randy was my first fm! He's so laid back, it's awesome. Definitely the hippy type. He loves to run. I had him with my trainer, then I had him after, so he kind of already knew me. it ruled. I honestly never have driven one of the new 388's. 9 speed I'm guessing? From what my buddies have been telling me, the cummins has been out pulling our cats...But those cats are very tired as well. Good luck man, congrats on the test out.

    there really isnt much difference between the two. Far as I can tell its the same.
    axle seals are blowing left and right. Electrical issues with dash lights

    That's weird with axle seals blowing. Those are probably the same thing that have been used the last 15+ years! That sucks though, gotta replace all the brakes when that happens!
