PRIME Drivers... What's your 20? (2)

In Los Lunas, NM, waiting on unload.

 

Just arrived at the shipper here in Washington won't get the load for another 12 hours when they open. Then it's off to Maryland

 

Flying J, Warrenton Missouri.
Hard to Brownsville Tn.

I dropped off a load at Brownsville right after I parked tonight. Weird right?

 

Springmo. Been here since Wednesday with company truck at dealer.

The truck won't be ready till Monday. Going to try to get another truck issued tomorrow, then swap trucks. What pita and loss of money.

Now I will have to buy a Cascadia antennae mirror mount since the stock built in garbage doesn't get out. Probably will have to pay to have the coax ran.

I had hoped I could get off and running, and now more sitting around. More money spent and lost.

But at least my fleet manager is cool. I don't like being in Springfield.

 

Just left Memphis. Picking up in West Memphis, headed to Springfield.

 

Looking to have this load recharged. We knew going in the time wasn't there so while I am on my 10 and doing laundry in Iowa I figured I would check in.

 

Mount is about $20. The stock ant works fine for me. I wouldn't pay to run coax. In the cascadia run it underneath the door gasket, then remove the two star bolts from the panel(the one with panic handle in it on the pass side, or same panel slides out of place on driver side) from there you should be able to access the cb. Place door gasket back into place while this panel is removed (easier). Or mount to back of the cascadia on the rail, advantage is don't have to remove ant when going though wash at a yard(where the brushes in wash will rip it out). Run coax underneath truck and in though apu wire holes then out the bunk from the side. Then underneath grey plastic panels on floor near the doors(3 star bolts), underneath the next panel(just slides out). This should get you to same place as if you went off the mirror so pick up there. What was wrong with the truck?

 

Well, I didn't have to do anything like that as I have been moved into a 2016 Prostar. I have no use for my antennas system as this Prostars dual antennas are working properly. I don't know what kind of range, but I have low swr and no antenna light. The only thing I wish could have come over was the chain rack. International said there is no place to put it on this truck without drilling holes in the frame. They said they leave that up to Prime. So I have the chains in their bags wrapped in the mattress plastic to keep the cab from getting dirty. But I like my new company truck!

How the hell can I hang my cb mic though. This astatic chrome mic cord is long! It gets in the way of the shifter. I bought the gear keeper, but to where to hang it high.

 

Throw your chains under the bunk and leave 'em there. If you find yourself tempted to use them, park it.

 

There is no under the bunk space? Scratch that! They did fit!

Thanks man!
