    Hey thanks, I've heard they do better. I miss my Thermo King Tripac system with built in inverter. I could do whatever I wanted with that thing. It could go for days without ever needing to crank the truck or anything. Best system for the driver I believe. Endless power and heat and cool just fine. I see more and more of that Shorepower stuff being put in out here. Figure that's going to be forced on us later on. No idle rules and they go to all this battery pack stuff. Just a matter of time. Anyways, thanks for the information. Still not wanting to fork out the dollars for a 1500 watt inverter and wiring kit. Going to double check my options on it a little more.

    Cool deal. Either of those loads would be good then. The one JD mentioned would be good as well. I'll Post what I get later. Thanks again for the info. Take care out there! :)

    I was able to get my 1st stop taken care of early this morning in McCalla. Gone is the extended parking there. Some lazy nasty driver messed that up good. We can go in an hour early but that's about it. No over night deal anymore from what security told me. Some driver took a crap in a bag and threw it out in the parking lot and another driver ran over it and scattered it all over while trying to check in and stuff. All the big dogs got involved and thus the new rules. Sad and Pathetic drivers stoop so low. Anyways, got some fuel and got rolling shortly after they unloaded me. Made a stop in at the 5 in Georgia on I-20. Food is very good there. Some of my favorite out here. Set up my delivery for the 2nd stop and got it knocked out. Then got rolling towards my last stop at Tifton. Outbound called and ask to move up my appointment in the morning so that helps. Made it here to the Pilot at the 60 on 75 around six. Wanted to do some laundry but of course the machines have been put out of order. Just my luck. We'll see how tomorrow goes. Hope it's another productive day. Good Night All! :)

    Thanks for the update on the McCalla stop, that sucks. Sitting in Pueblo now getting unloaded at the Target. Bought a 1500 Watt inverter last night at the Loves here for only 150 including tax which I suppose isn't too bad. Hooked it up and it is working fine. I think I figured out the problem with the "900" watt microwave burning my other one out. The 900 is the cooking wattage but it operates at a higher wattage.
    Snow coming down now. Hope the real bad stuff holds off for a while. Next drop up in Denver and then probably spending the night at Johnson's Corner as no word yet on a change in appt. time.

    A minor coup for the Majestyk team as I was able to get my Loveland Walmart load rescheduled for this afternoon so I can be headed on down the road tonight instead of stuck in Johnson's Corner for 15 hours. That said I just grabbed one of their green chili burritos covered with guacamole for the win.
    In other news after three years of applying for University positions I finally got a call for a face to face meeting after a phone interview last week. Nothing may come of it but at least one final chance to reach professorhood before I quit trying:) We will see.

    Darn , oh man I bought a 2000 watt , I better call Guillermo tomorrow , I was gonna check it in for the flight to GP on Monday. Why did I not ask you guys how many watts they allow ? And I don't believe they can be returned either.

    Well, since no one but me was going to be home all day Monday the wife said she'd put off the pot roast till next time I'm home & I could continue on to Henderson if I wanted too. Took the offer in hope of better earnings.

    Got a nice three stop mom/pop load leaving Henderson in the morning. 1) Ft Collins,CO Thursday 2) KC,MO Friday 3) Appleton,WI Saturday or Monday.

    Preliminary weather check has me taking I80 instead of I70 to Ft Collins.
