    I just wanted to thank all of you that have posted and given me great advice. I have been spending the last cpl months doing all my research and reading so many posts and reading them again and again. The information on here is priceless.
    I am going tonight to go pick up my truck and my authority should arrive next week, I hope. Then to the road I go!!
    again, a big fat thanks to all of you!:biggrin_25514::biggrin_25514:

    Hey
    Just got home with it and ofcourse its been down pouring, Need new wipers!! lol
    Its a 2007 Freightshaker Classic XL with a CAT15 500hp 13spd 3.55 rears
    I will post a pic tomorrow if it aint pouring.
    As far as loads, I was going to buy a reefer but dont want to drain my account, so for now will find loads as I can till I can get the trailer. I took a small loan out to get the truck so should be able to save up for trailer soon.
    again thanks
