    I may have missed it but what company did you decide to go with? What are you pulling Van, Flat etc etc?

    That's to funny. I only saw lot lizzards in California and New Mexico. Took me about two months to get used to sleeping in a moving truck. Good luck and stay safe.

    If your trainer turns out to be a Richard you gonna wish you had paid the lizard to sit on his pillow without her under garments in use. A missed opportunity really. Shoulda done it just in case

    Lot lizards provide a very important service for some drivers. If they into them let it be. Lizards can be entertaining when they are around you can hear the CB advertisers and see the trucks with every driver sitting in their driver seat watching it.

    It was always a pleasure to hear "Peaches" on the radio out in the Knoxville area many years ago. But I fear something happened to her.

    I thought everybody removed the water restricter from shower heads ?
    I just bought a new one and had to cut it out with a knife, I tried with it in there, no pressure and it whistled really really loud.

    You have opti idle for heat?

    original poster sounds like another b.s. artist so he'll fit right in with a lot of the bs story telling exaggerating truckers we deal with everyday !

    As far as the shower thing ; that's a hit or miss . You can be in the same building and have one shower feel like a pressure washer and another one right next door feel like it's barely drizzling out .
     
    Shock Therapy Thanks this.

    He says he was parked at a pilot then when asked where he was parked he said "a large petro"

    If you're going lie at least have a decent memory .

    The whole parking light thing he mentioned is straight out of tv shows,movies, and online de facto bs
     
    DTP Thanks this.
