    I'm just getting back from meeting with TG & GR. Great, great people. Their selection was pretty limited and it seems each unit they were looking at had some issues. They got quite a few rigs out there.
    Hopefully those two will get things narrowed down and a decision will be made. Wish I could have spent more time with them but I didn't want to take them away from the business at hand. Besides...I've got some running to do.

    Especially for the times they were really different

    I don't have the freightliner sunroof or that reason. It doesn't open so all it does is heat up the interior

    I stopped at a truck boneyard on the way back from meeting TG & GR and picked up snap on covers for all my sleeper windows (4) and the sunroof. Also got a good deal on cab curtains. All like new. I wanted a mirror bracket cover, which is the main reason I stopped there, and they didn't have any.....

    I hate it when I see the selection dwindling down to say two or three like those T-600's. Because usually that means those ones are the problem child.

    Man I need to get one of them. I really don't like any of the other ones. Still trying to get some operating costs lined up...

    I just might send them the down payment to save me one of those 300k units... $50 a month more for 100k less miles is worth it in my book. Once it's paid off, (three years), I still have a good year or two left of running it till it's time to trade it in I'd imagine.
