    I was hoping for a T2000 but after one day this truck is really growing on me. The transmission and I really get along well! The turning radius also seems alot tighter than the T7. Yes sir I think I really like this truck.
    I got my first load going from Trenton to East Alton Illinois. I am sitting at the Flying J tonight about 10 miles from the receiver. It all went smoother than I could have ever expected. I just can't get this smile off my face!:biggrin_255:

    I made my first delivery. From Trenton to East Alton Il. A little over 46000 lbs. This 660 is a pulling machine. It seems more powerful than the T7. The T7 is a steady puller, the 660 gets right after it! A couple of the guys say it is due to the 660 not have the fluid DEF system. Dropped my Trailer at E. Alton and picked up an MT at the East St Louis drop lot and went to Ashley furniture in Sauget Il. I am now in BRF where I slept last night. Today they will fix my bumperand hopefully install an inverter. I am ready for some home away from home cooking. I bought the Rand Mcnally 710. It has been helpful. Very nice unit with very useful features. I have no complaints except that I can't seem to wipe this smile off my face!, Lol:biggrin_255:

    Thank you. E logs. I like 'em. I only have the slightest experience with paper. While I was with my Trainer I had to run paper for training purposes and for a few days while in a loaner truck. I saw the advantages of "loose leaf", but I appreciate the convenience of E log.:biggrin_255:

    Mojo, I can understand what you mean about not being able to get the smile off your face. For me it would be like "I can't believe I am actually driving this big truck. This is awesome!"

    Have fun and stay safe out there.
     
    MojoPotatoe Thanks this.
