    I think its the 82inch sleeper? Its the stratosphere but I haven't been able to find the actual size anywhere and wasn't listed when I bought it. Its the 4900EX 13spd with a little under 200K on it since rebuild. I'll try getting some pics of the bunk soon.

    I'm leased onto a really small carrier(2 O/O and 5 company trucks and we are leased onto Busch Farms out of Belvidere IL. We haul mostly corn oil, soybean oil, yellow grease type of stuff.

    Looks like there is a proud young man over on the passenger seat. I like seeing that.

    2021 680 x15 nothing old or cool. Gets down the road without being too thirsty though. :)
    Probably the only thing kinda cool is I run a winter grill on the 680 where I don’t think I’ve maybe ever saw that before around these parts. Also, fuel tank heaters of course. I’d had enough of the -30 degree problems a couple yrs back.

    Yes sir! He's been with me 2 of the 4 weeks I've been running it so far including this week. Only reason hasnt been every week is the 1st week his mom thought it'd be best if I ran by myself since I'd never hauled tanker, and the other week his twin brother came with me.

    You know when I finally dropped by to pick up the truck his son was working on another truck in their fleet.

    I introduced myself and asked him to please let me know if there was anything the truck needed other than the brakes and tires to make it immediately road worthy .

    Told him I understand it’s a old worn out truck. Voiced my concerns about the old turbo. Told him lack of money is not holding any repairs.

    He told me don’t sweat it. His dad wouldn’t sell something that wasn’t what he said it was.

    Same way I sell stuff. Always truthful in my ads and over the phone and realistic on my price.

    I don’t think I have ever needed for a second person to look at something I was selling as the first always bought it.

    The junk that was selling out there 2 years ago was mostly just that.

    I have to say that’s the best looking “cobbled together” truck I’ve ever set eyes on.
