    It is a T660 that I purchased when it had about 7 miles on it. Yes, a double sleeper and double the closet space. If you go into the Kenworth site, you will be able to download a complete prochure of the whole inside. They will have lots better pics that I could get. Other than a few small issues, I have been very happy with it. Good mpg, last week my avg was 8.13. For the last 13 weeks my avg has been about 7.6.

    Skip, that is good that you can attend orientation. Mostly you will need to learn E-logs and the QC. If you decide on a studion 6600, good luck. From what I hear, they get leased as fast as they come in. When I got mine in PHX, it was only one of two that was new.

    At the Petro in Glade Spring, VA. Delivered my 3-stop Michael's load without any problems. Picking up a load @ TRW in Atkins, VA tomorrow afternoon which I'm gonna t-call in Columbus. Don't mind sitting at the moment, only 19 hours left on my 70 with nothing coming off for 2 days. Always had good luck getting out of Columbus in the past, we'll see!

    Squeak gets such good mileage because he never puts any weight in the box! :)

    My DD15 powered Cascadia gets as good or better mileage and I NEVER turn down a load because it's heavy. I managed nearly 8 MPG dragging 44,000 lbs (77,000 gross) from Louisana to NorCal 2 weeks ago. Got 8.3 from Phoenix to Jacksonville dragging a crappy old off-tracking trailer behind me with only 12K in the box, That would have been a 9 MPG load in a newer skirted trailer. The 3-stop load I just delivered (13K in the box) returned 8.2 running into the mountains of NC & TN.
