    @Wickedfire77 I unloaded beside a couple of your trucks in downtown ATL this morning. A very clean Classic and one of the white mid-roofs. The guy in the Classic had obviously been there many times before, as he had zero issues backing in and did it quickly. Made it look like he was in a day cab.

    That's not a terrible place, just giving credit where credit is due.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Good chance he was buying or bought that classic. They are pushing a lot of company drivers into those mid roofs.
    Was it Pepsi?

    Yes sir, that's the place. My first time ever being there and I admit, I was a little nervous going into downtown Atlanta. Had no directions, so I googled it and satellite-viewed it. Ended up getting off where the old Pilot was. Not a bad way to go. Easy-peasy finding the place.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    My first time there was at night, and my GPS told me to go to the "old" truck gate off the side street. Luckily I was able to do a flip in a closed business parking lot.
    No idling and wait in the sweaty warehouse kinda stinks...

    I'm going to ask a question on here just to get an opinion feedback.
    I have a DD60 that has been remanufactured. The problem I have is the data plate with the serial number is illegible or it was peeled off. How would I get a new one? How do I know what the number is to replace?

    I completely understand how you could do that. My GPS and the route on Google Maps was going to take me to the address on the bills and "the old truck gate" but thankfully I zoomed in on the satellite view and noticed the canopy off of the other street. Based on being at other Pepsi vendors, I knew that canopy was where trucks checked in/out, so I adjusted my final approach to make sure I was on that side of the building.

    We didn't have to wait in the building. Just drop trailer and pull out about 3 feet, check back in an hour.

    I got the R06 number but it doesn't show existing in the national DD network to look for parts. Kinda stuck

    If that is the original motor in truck you might be able to call Freightliner and give them the serial number of truck and hopefully they will be able to tell you.

    Hopefully that will work.
