Do you know if they have any dedicated that run through Kokomo In. or close to there ? I couldnt tell you

Where do you fuel and how often ? We fuel at the home terminal, Pilot/Flying J and Loves. Me personally, I fuel up at Pilot for the double points and then starting October 1st I'll be fueling at Loves. Both give you a free shower credit with 50 or more gallons of fuel, but Loves also gives you a free coffee or soda refill with 50 or more gallons. PLUS, once you hit diamond or platinum (i think it's 1000 and 1500 gallons) in one month, the following month you get unlimited coffee and soda refills. With that being said, I fuel up probably every day with only 51 gallons at a time. The last day of this month I'll top off the diesel and the DEF to get every point I can since they are double.

When you take your 10 there are you at terminals or go to truck stops , wondered about showers and eating. I have a fridge in my truck. It's the iceless cooler by coleman. its great and fits in one of the cabinets in the freightliner! i'll try to post pics later. i personally stay at the Pilot by the Vandalia (Dayton) terminal so I can get my wifi, shower, etc. The Anderson terminal has all of that plus computers, tvs, etc. The Vandalia termanal does not. When I'm in Arkansas, I take my 10 at the gas station across the street from our terminal.

I checked your route on Google maps , just curious do you go through Indy on 70 or Cinci and Louisville way ? 70

Sounds like you have a really good thing going for you and sounds like a good place to work. Glad you are happy there.

Overall I absolutely love it and fell I made the right choice. It may not be for everyone, but it's absolutely for me!

This is the cabinet that my Coleman Iceless Cooler is in:

This picture is the cooler inside of the cabinet:

And here is the cooler with the door open:

As you can see, there is enough room to open the door but not too much room that would allow it to tip over. The exhaust at the top has plenty of room to breath. Love it!

Yes it has an upper bunk. When I got the truck it was folded up. I pulled it down and use it as a shelf lol. It's quite roomy in here compared to some other trucks I've been in. I'll try to get pics taken soon.

Videos? Never thought about it. Videos of the truck?

There is a guy that has a dash mounted cam and he also wears it on his hat sometimes and shows a lot of different things about trucking. Driving , fueling , hooking up to the trailers ,backing and truck stops
. Pretty good view of trucking .

Check YouTube , type his name " John Vollrath" he drives for WEL .

Have you taken a rider with you , I think they have a rider program after you drive for a while.

The wife will be going with me at all times.

Thanks
