Hey guys. Sorry I got tied up but Im back. Im in Fontana waiting to deliver to Costco in the morning.
My first run out the door was off the yard to Salt Lake City. Pre-planned to this Costco load from Clearfield to Mira Loma and I just got my pre plan for a deadhead up to Point Hueneme for a pickup and load to Corrine Utah. I have court a week from tomorrow so they are keeping me close so that I dont miss it.
Im having some adjustment issues with this Kenworth T600 but nothing I can't put up with for a month or so before they replace it. I have found that the truck is 65mph on the pedal and 68 mph on the cruise. Its also an 8 speed with high/low on 5-8. Kinda like a short 13 speed....but it works ok. Since I dont have an APU I was told to use whatever inverter I had until I get my next truck. Unfortunatly I couldnt find the one I thought I had....so I will be picking up one in the very near future. I only need it for my laptop anyway so its not crucial at this point in time. My TV is 12 volt.
Its a baby blue T600 if you happen to see me out and about give a yell. I should have my CB in sometime tomorrow.
Hope your all getting tons of miles!!!

Hope your next truck is better than the one you're in. Have a good & safe time in this job. Are they 48 st? or just the western states?

Hey word is giltner is a good company and they take good care of there trucks. My truck came from giltner and i love it T-600 was so used to w900s i didn't think i would like the 600 as much as i do ,wouldn't go back to a 900 unless i had to.
I'm surprised you don't have a 475 isx and a 13spd mine came governed from them at 75mph. Let us all know, but i think you will be happy with them. Good Luck! -

Hey all...sorry I have been in divorce court all day today and tomorrow. Oh the joys....NOT. Then I have a load out of Baldwin Park Ready Pac going to Conroe Texas. Has two additional stops and delivers on Friday. Got caught up in that blizzard in Wyoming on Friday too..that was not fun either...spent the night in the parking lot of the Buford Trading Post....14 degrees...I thought Winter was over!!!

Well tonight Im parked in Port Hueneme California waiting for a banana load in the morning. Turned out I didnt get the Conroe load after all and ended up on a load to Kansas City Kansas. Picked up a load of out Space Age Storage in Independence MO. Never been inside the cave before, very interesting. Delivered it, had to have the serpentine belt replaced and now waiting on this load to Grandview Washington. So far so good. Still trying to get up to Jerome to either get the EGR replaced on this truck or this truck replaced..never sure exactly what they are going to do.

I was thinking Giltner merged or was affiliated with one or two other truck companies, can't remember which ones. You doing any frozen spuds?
-
Giltner is a division of Progressive Logistics.
Any time you empty out in eastern Washington you can just about count on a load of "Frozen Spuds" heading to a Sysco somewhere.
I've been with Giltner for almost a year and happy so far.The Challenger and cuzzin it Thank this.
