    KW's are smaller on the inside. My current KW runs 69, and I'm keeping this one as long as possible. I've already told Bill that the only way I'd concider changing trucks again is if this one just up and croaks, or I'm qualified for a new truck.

    My last KW was governed at 66/67. Haven't driven a Volvo other than the test drive for orientation. I've driven Freightshakers before. Never a Mack. Wern't there rumors of Peterbuilts in our near future? That would be nice.

    I hope you find that balance RC. I know how hard it is. I know we don't know each other but my thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom. Best wishes!
