    Currently it's a tired 455hp 10spd 3.55rears no window in back yet but I did move the side windows over from the 72". It's got a long ways to go to look like an updated A model but it'll get there someday.

    If when you meet you trainer, and you shake his hand in greeting, if you can smell him, no matter how many bunks are in that truck, it's nasty. Request another trainer.

    "Six, but what if he showers before he meets me?"

    Funky people aren't going to be able to get rid of funk with 1 shower. They would have to strip down and walk trough a Blue Beacon nude and get pressure washed and hand brushed.

    I've been trucking with my wife for over five years now. I started nose in parking to give her alittle extra privacy but now it's the only way I'll stay in a truck stop. I will not tolerate listening to a motor idle when it's 70, 60 50, 40.....whatever degrees out. Fix your #### air governor by the way please. We sleep at shipper / receiver whenever possible.....peace & quiet!

    You wouldn't like sleeping next to me. 7 inch straights with no muffler just a resonator. Puts me right to sleep.

    2bunks but not supposed to use the top one while driving and yes that is a problem with many trainer/trainee or Teams that were matched through the Company.

    It is harder changing your sleep patterns than over coming a noisy engine. Reefer loads that deliver at 3am, then your next load picks up at 4pm to run through the night.
