    Tip of your finger. Lol or just let the air out it makes it easier to install instead of holding your thumb over it trying to work the other side of tge quick release. It doesn't take long for the air to build back up after you got it installed

    At the J in Latta, SC. Place is huge and less than 1/2 full.

    On my way to Hazelton, PA with a Command (broker) load. Swift tried to send me to the middle of nowhere SC to pick up a load headed for Macon, GA, which I turned down.

    Only my second Command load but so far I'm liking it. Besides having a LOT more control over where you go they tell you the ENTIRE pickup & delivery window times, no Plus1 garbage. Plus1 tries it's best to muck it up but I simply ignore the delivery times on the PP/dispatch and put down an ETA that matches what Command told me.

    Not what I meant, when I remove the gun I need to cap the air, the gun came with a t fitting but need a connection to put the hose back together when I remove it.

    Do you need to remove it?

    Why not just leave it connected, the hose rolled up?

    When you remove it take the tee fitting out and put in a straight compression fitting.

    Your seat should have a straight quick connect on the line coming out from the flooring and to the seat take that out and get a quick connect tee and put it in place of it. Screw the one time use compression fitting cut it off the coily air line that comes with the air nozzle kit and chuck it. And then proceed as normal with the quick connect tee and hold on to the straight quick connect for later truck swap. it will make life easier.

    so if I leave the truck later I dont leave my gun behind or a spliced hose, I will buy one of those straight connect fittings next time I see a TA just to have in a drawer for when its needed.

    So far I like my freightliner, the stereo sounds so much better and actually has some kick to it unlike the other trucks plus has both the aux and usb port. It also shifts very nicely compared to the other truck, clutch is like 20 times easier to press in and I dont get clutch leg when in bad traffic and the gears dont grind like the other did. That was one thing I hated about the last truck, would grind even at a stop trying to put it in a gear.
