    LOL! You should have seen it when we bought it from TRL. Their "terminal" was a junk yard.

    Hmm. So, im back for upgrade, did all my classes, and i'm supposed to be out getting a truck. However, from the beginning, i wanted to do tanker, but i needed reefer training first. I still need my tanker endorsement, but i'll need to wait until monday for that. Should i just go and get a truck and get out of here, and maybe do it down the road, or get it all out of the way now, and just get into tanker?

    You should get your tanker endorsement whether you stay on the reefer side or not. Some of the hazmat we're pulling in reefers now requires it.

    The FMCSA changed the requirements for the tanker endorsement last year. Its effective in two years, but some states (Texas for one) are already enforcing it. Square plastic totes... in a metal frame the size of a standard pallet. It comes under the heading of gotta have a tanker endorsement to pull those now, anything over 120 gallons IIRC.

    Alright, i'm out on the road, enjoying myself, about to finish my home time. I have a question. How do you get the TV in the truck? do i need to just buy myself an antenna and hook it up that way, or is there a way already setup int he truck? I'm in a lightweight Cascadia, and i'm not seeing anything.

    The larger Cascadias have a lead at the back of the cabinet opening that you don't have. The best thing to do is talk to the detail shop in Springfield. You can get a TV mount from the company store - the detail shop will install it. I believe that a 19" is the largest you can have put in, but you should check on that with the detail shop.
