About to be "on the road again"

Thanks all for the well wishes And Larry its used 07 Kinghunter got it right D16 535 13sp 3.42 rears heated/massage seats. My Neighbor across from me has the same Identical truck but he got his new he came over and showed me the massage seats cause I hadnt noticed it had them and how to figure you weight going off the pressure readings from the front and rear air bags and a few other things on it. but I think I am gonna love the tri pac. This O/O thing is hard work and I havent even began working yet. Been up since 5am yesterday flew out to pick it up drove all night (it was still set at factory spec.72mph) Started loosing air pressure so I call the dealer in soiux city they told me to take it to the Volvo dealer and have them call them. Been at the local Volvo dealer all day having road speed and cruise opened all the way air leak fixed. I was thinking about signing on with land star but think I will be going with Tango Transport I will try to keep updating. But right now I am going up stair and keep my wife up snoring if she dont kick me out the bed or stuff a sock in my mouth.
Again thanks for all the well wishes and best of luck to you all

 

Well one reason Landstar havent called taking to long and another like you said worried about finding the good loads. Coming from company driver driving day cabs going from terminal to terminal hardly ever backing to a dock just get in truck drive get out truck go to motel to almost independent O/O is a big step and I rather take small steps to independance. If it was just me it would be no problem but have to look out for the family one too many mistakes will effect them and I already made one but hopefully it will turn out alright(below)

As far as the airleak the dealer told me to find another shop to take it to the Volvo dealer replaced a leveling valve on the front axle but it didnt fix the problem. took it to another shop and the mechanic invited me under the truck to take a look at what he found. 1.Carrier bearing worn completely out shake drive shaft with hand. 2. Yoke bad. 3. Rear transmission seal leakin(not to bad a little wet). Call the dealer and he told me to go ahead and have it fixed and send him the bill. Hoping he is good on his word. Mechanic gonna keep it over the weekend and go over the whole truck

Lession 1 Never buy a truck thats been sitting for six months seals will dry out and start leaking

 

Some dealers are good for their word. The way he talked it think he will be.
