CRETE - A Year in Review

It's the first week of the month in a slow economy. It will be slow. Be patient.

 

Did I mention, the driver's seat will swivel 90 degrees to facilitate television viewing, or that it has a special function for checking all lights during a pre-trip (press and hold the "Auto" and "Work" light buttons for a couple seconds...it will then flash every light on the truck a couple times, then pause 5 seconds, then repeat, until you turn it off by pressing the Work light button) or that my Cornfield Cadillac has all of 9th gear, up to about 1750 rpm?

 

Redbeard,

Whats the weight of the prostar plus a dry van w/o anything loaded on it?

Can't remember...I do know that bobtail, with full tanks, my fat-rear-ended (there, is the language filter happy now?) self, and all the stuff I carry with me, it weighs about 20,400 pounds according to the scale at the Kansas City terminal.

I've pulled loads weighing around 46,000 pounds with it (and tipped the scales at 79,980 pounds)

 

Thats one heavy truck. How much does a Century and Cascadia weigh??

Not sure. Probably about 1500 pounds less, I'm guessing. The cornbinder, empty, with "minimal fuel" weighs 18,427 pounds from the factory according to a sticker on the sun visor. That probably doesn't include the Espar bunk heater or the chains we carry.

 

Got my cornbinder in knoxville thursday and been here ever sence,had a headache for 2days sitting here lookin at this bright red truck, (btw im a shaffer driver and used to blue) and my poor table i made from evertrucker spec wont fit..a laptop stand from another drivers specs wont fit...and stop next to the dumpster when changing trucks...your gonna need it...lol
but my 22" flat screet fits nice on the stand and i did get my cooler in that hole (with alil force)...now all i need is a load to find out how it feels and pulls

 

Anyone in the knoxville area want a table and or a laptop stand. let me know i'll give it to ya...hate to throw it will fit the century trucks..

 

To bad I'm nowhere near knoxville I could use both.

 

Are you saying that there is no freight in Knoxville?
