    Thats the way the new cascadias are. Stripped down to the min, The internationals dont have air dump no idea why Knight ordered them that way. Luckly for me my truck had all the equipment for it all ready I just had to buy the 80$ switch and a 50$ hookup to activate it.

    The air dump was a must on my daycab that I drove along the US/Mex border in some nasty drop yards, as some landing gear was sunk inches-to-feet in the yard mud, and even when cranked all the way up, the trlr couldnt be hooked w/o dumping the bags!

    We are doing more turkey runs. The customer pays it as a round trip so we deliver within a 600 mile radius and deadhead back. I am doing one to KS tomorrow and when I get back I have to do some shuttles again. They pay well and as long as I'm not doing it for too long I'll still get my 30 k miles for the quarter.

    I got my next load, Heading to Wash, then to Idaho Falls, ID. for service. Ill be over in your neck of the woods after Thanksgiving. Truck is going in to have the last bit of dmg from Bambi fixed and have a B service done and have a drive axle looked at.

    I was told today that the Southwest should pick back up soon, sounds like we got a few accounts that start after the first of the year. Guess we will see, Southwest has always been busy so its been odd the last few months over here.

    Drop and hooked to get this one and now at KC shop to get a tire replaced. Showing steel all around the center. Pre trips are important and this proves guys just aren't doing them.
