    They didn't get it with the espresso machine and flat screen sat tv? You really need to find a carrier that treats their drivers better.

    He is right. Smiling eastern European man bearing gifts may hold ulterior motives.

    Also be aware you may feel the uncontrollable urge to now purchase some black sweats with a white stripe down the side and a pair of flip flops.:)

    Yeah, congrats, as well. ALWAYS nice to get a new horse. Does wonders for the attitude( for a while) I think in all my years, I got a new truck twice, a Louisville Ford ( with a L-10 270 Cummins, Good Lord and a FL Freightliner day cab, sure beat that set back axle POS cabover I was driving, shutter) What are all those switch blanks on the dash? Probably better, less to go wrong. Be on your toes, for some reason, God hates new trucks. I know several times, someone put a million miles on a truck with no accidents, got a new truck, and WHAM.

    I do love that color but it's just become a liability for the company to keep on the road as an OTR truck. It kept having recurring DPF/SCR issues and those don't come cheap.

    It's being retired to the local/regional fleet. They need CARB certified trucks for the California and back runs.
