    You know where the cubby is under the radio? That's where they put the shifter. Took away the cubby.

    Awe... I like the shifter on the side of the seat.

    Oh well... So goes life.

    That stick did tend to get in the way when trying to move from seat to sleeper, even with it folded down.

    I remember someone from Volvo saying they did away with stick as many were getting broken and owners were complaining.

    At the very least Volvo listens to their customers maybe we can get KW do listen to us about headlight switch placement.

    Just tonight I decided that if I have to lean forward out of my seat and take my eyes off the road to hit the light switch I wasn't going to flash anyone over any longer. :(

    Lot of folks from Florida at Abilene. Need to visit that state someday. Beaches look incredible.

    I live in Florida (panhandle near Pensacola). Do they hire out of that area?

    Waiting on dispatch. Will be leaving out tomorrow morning....hopefully.

    My truck needs front end work, as in balance, alignment and new shocks, all this in 44,000 miles.

    The brand new KW 1768 I was assigned seems to need an alignment as well... I thought I was imagining it, or was a side wind, but if you are having issues maybe something was wrong at Quality Control during our batch run.
