    Mine comes complete with just a compressor, or gravity unload. Lol.
    All the ones they built lately and in the future have a compressor and pump.

    Snowman is a sick truck too. I want a White one though so I can put a giant Come and Take It sticker on each side of the sleeper.

    CAT SPD, do you know anything about loads in/through Montana? I know there are Gold and Copper Mines up here and I'm hoping to get loads home from them. If not then oh well. What I really want is my own truck, everything else is second fiddle til that happens.

    I do not know much about the load destinations or pick ups yet, but as I go I will keep everyone updated.

    Have they told you what percent of loads would be out and back or is there no way to tell.Did they say if you will have to pay for the tank wash.Did you ever say who your affiliate is.

    Because after a drop you have to go to another location to wash out the tank before your next load . Now every load becomes a split drop.

    And when you get to the tank wash there will probably be a line....

    All the while you are burning your 14 hour clock.... Time/dead head is money....

    Plus most tank washs (not all) make a pilot look like the Ritz....
     
    Blue4ever and Rix43 Thank this.

    It was a long time ago....

    Let's just say I could make the same money staying close to home.

    Those are beautiful trucks.... And a fitting box on the truck is almost a must have. Also (I hate to say it) a hose rack. You can carry hoses on the trailers. But every time you drop a trailer you have to deal with tossing them around....

    And if you leave them on a trailer when your not around they will disappear .

    What's the deal with intransit heat....? I'd Avoid this if at all possible.
