    So far its worked really well for most loads. And yes the rail is very strong. Forklift hit it straight on today while unloading at a construction site and all it did was scratch a piece of reflective tape off. The guy was being careful but the ground was uneven, he was having a heck of a time keeping those forks straight.

    The only thing I don't like, if you have to throw chain and need to use the rail, it's not easy to work with since it doesn't have spools. It has chain pulls but if the load covers them, such as containers, they're useless.

    Also, I either unlocked some secret pulling power in my motor this week, or my playing around with the torque band has paid off. I've let it get down to about 1200 rpm in top gear and she pulls like a monster. Usually I would drop a half step at 1300 and bring it back up to 1500, thinking more boost equals better hill pulling power. She'll pull most hills on the 11 in top gear.

    I love learning new things, but I hate it's taken this long to learn this particular thing!

    Stay safe!!!
    They just issued the 1st severe thunderstorm warning for us a few minutes ago. It's near constant lightning to the West of town right now.

    The “plug in” row. Bunch of other trucks to the right but I didn’t feel like being too nosy. Gotta make y’all wait for the good stuff.

    Catalina is in there and one of our big bunk O/O W9s :)

    Unfortunately nay :p

    I got a plastic Prostar with an auto in Dallas calling my name...

    The only one in orientation getting an auto :(

    Oh well. I’ve been told it’s an old team truck with a good chunk of miles on it. Means I’ll be the first one to be eligible for a newer ride outta the class so :D

    Gonna ask for the stars when that time comes.
