    As well I am the backing master of this team. My wife had some difficulty, but passed. There is plenty of room, and no pressure

    OK... just getting to do an update and post some photos of the truck on my blog and Flickr.

    We are headed to Salt Lake City with our 2nd load in the 2007 International Eagle we've named "Big Bird"... first was a short hop to get a load in Tulsa and bring it to the yard... then got a few things fixed on the truck... nothing mechanical... and started out this morning.

    OK... admittedly I thought the worse :biggrin_25524: as I anticipated a sleek NEW ProStar... since there was 8 of them in the mix and then was told by the hubby that we got Big Bird. Word to the wise... Do NOT dawdle when making your selection! Be like a new bride to be in a bridal shop which is having a huge sale! Know what you want and go for it.

    Now... the Big Yeller Truck is growing on me:biggrin_255:... much to my (and Randy's) surprise and resistance... read my post:

    Bottom line... we're rolling and happy! :biggrin_255:

    Glad ur happy and rolling!!!! We are almost home for the first time after 4 weeks and 20,000 miles, We know the cleaning &:biggrin_25519: polishing thing with nicotine stains and yes we both smoke! Any Tips? Since we crossed the Ohio line nothin but thumbs up on the CB, guess they are not used to JCT! Word is they have another order of Petes coming in, alot of problems with the plastic fantastic Prostars so far!! If you have one I'm happy u do, thought I wanted one as well, but in the world of trucking I'm Glad my w900 stands out from all those fleet trucks! No matter how its equipped, engine, ect... Its a Fleet truck just like a Volvo or Freightliner! I do hope u both do well! If u want to trade notes email me and my wife sammy2001a@hotmail.com

    Wow! Nice Truck, with all the talk I guess I expected some P.O.S. but that truck looks pretty good. Not bad if you can save a few bucks while you learn the JCT ropes. Good luck to you guys.:biggrin_25525:

    I just want to raise my hand and say thanks to all you regular writers on this Blog. I have followed this blog from the beginning and learned a thing or two from you all about writing the truth. Although I don't drive for JCT, it is one of the companies with it's truthful, both good and bad, (honest?)L/O's that keeps this blog going. It also helps me keep on the right track with my blog. Thanks guy's and have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
     
    dabs, Jarbo, excelguy22 and 4 others Thank this.
