    Drove 400
    miles and dropped. Then went to Freightliner and got fuel water separator and oil so wrench can PM at 0500 in the morning. Just got home. Unloaded cats, perishables, chains, cat supplies. Took Casper back to terminal and walked home in the summer Phoenix sun.

    Oh i'll detail this home time in home time thread lmfao.

    But that's some good feed back on the MX. Talked to a Cannuck about 2 years ago, who also had cats in the truck, and he was real happy with his too.

    But these guys have 50 in Phoenix, 200 total, and the owner said he loves them. So it is what it is.

    It’s better to stay with the devil you know, then to choose a new one that could have even more or worse problems. It’s an unknown (new truck).

    I thought it would sound deep and mysterious like a shaman or Yoda was speaking, but obviously I came off like a twit. Lol

    You're trying to decide if you should buy a new Kenworth, so you check on an internet forum for an answer??? That's beyond odd? Do you have a business model or plan of any sort or do you just shoot from the hip on a $165,000 plus business decision?
    Trucks last as long as you maintain them , I'm driving the same truck I bought in 1998 and it has gone anywhere I want it to go in two countries for 2.5 million miles + so far.

    Nothing wrong with listening to other peoples opinions and experiences before making a big decision. The more info he collects, the more informed of a decision. I'm sure he is researching other sources also.
