    That's a great deal. When I started with my last company I had to wait until a truck came available also but I talk the boss into letting me use our AZ truck for my locals and AZ runs. Nobody wanted this truck (KW K100) because it was a bear to shift. I took it to the shop, put top hats on the lights and had a new cable installed on the shifter then everyone wanted it. I cleaned the iside to where it was like new. My point is take care of what is given you. Go over it so you know the truck inside and out. Spend a few bucks if you have to to make it nice for you. The pride you show will pay off. Good luck and have fun.
     
    Wargames Thanks this.
