Hey frtshaker when u spose to be in winchester I'm in that area quite a bit maybe I can buy ya dinner and pik ya brain a lil.

 

Not yet, decided to put the house up for sale so I have to get it ready to show before I get back in the truck. Should be another couple of weeks.

 

supposed to be ther tue morn,,will b there sunday night/late afternoon I know theres a truck stop right in winchester but cant remember the name,,will be on chnl 19 call for fr8tshkr or runaway train glad to buy you dinner/coffee and tell some lies

 

LOL,,ahhh but ur a comedian king! have to agree with u on the dolly's,,,getting tired of cranking down 40000+ lbs five inches above my fifthwheel,,,,but still not as bad as the old game,,,,lower dollys all the way down after dropping,,,,real fun to crank 40k up ten inches woooohoooo!!!!!

 

would reply but I dont want to jinx it!!

 

#### time is dragging. Leave tomorrow afternoon for Sapulpa and I just wish it was the next Thursday already. Am looking forward to some longer runs instead of the short crap I have put up with the last 2 years.

I would love to know now what kind of trucks they will have available at the end of orientation. Since my plan is to keep the same truck til payoff my plan is to get a combo of most aerodynamic and newest I can get. Would really like to get a T660 or Pete 386 if one is available. I know I have heard the new Prostars are a good ride but to me Internationals just never have been a very good truck and it is hard to believe they can change that all of a sudden. If that is the newest and fits my equation though that will be what I will get.

I can't fricking wait to get started though!

 

welcome aboard and good luck!,,if ya want to know,, my experiance so far would rate as 9 out of ten stars,,,if you will run,,this is a great place to beand as you can see from my ranting the last few days problems can b addressed and solved very quickly here,,just dont b shy about it (and dont b an a@#hole either) cya out here soon,,and as far as trk choice,,nowadays not a whole lot of difference in quality or mechanical per mile operational cost and as these guys have stated many times if your first ride aint the one for you after ninety days you can ask for a different truck.

 

Believe me I am one who wants to run as many miles as I can get. I have never been happy unless I am getting 3000+ miles per week and I know to be a great log architect.

It will b rare to get a 660 or 386. No one is trading those in. Last week they only has prostars, 9900, and some t600. There's rumor they r ordering something else later this year.
