    I was there Friday and Saturday as they started rolling in. KWs and Petes. All colors of the rainbow. Also...do they put the cb antenna of those on the back of the cab between the truck and refer? The ones coming out of make ready had a single antenna on the back just above the hand hold.

    The OEM do that. Dumb place for it IMHO. But the do it for aerodynamics.

    Scaled our 44.2k in R trailer with room to add 150 gallons of fuel. Which puts me right at 80k and 34k on drives and tandems.

    Hey, 500 pages. Here's to another 500.

Guess they had the apu guys out there installing these lovely comfort pros on the trucks

    Yeah. I see that. I rather keep my shaker also. Word is that the new Pete's and KWs are in the shop way more than the shakers. Not sure how true, just what I hear.
