    It’s a Cummins :)

    Has more balls than my old 660 and we’re normally pretty light so I shouldn’t have any issues with power.

    Unfortunately it’s still a 10 speed. Was hoping for a 13 even if it was an auto. I hate the gaps on a 10.

    I pretty much drove all the way back from Edmonton at 98,000 gross the other week using my 13 like a 10 speed (L to 8 then 8 over). She seemed to like pulling down low around 1200 than up high near 1400 where I'm used to running. Then again, I've got 3.90 rears, which would have an impact.

    Yeah, 80,000 on 5 axles. And every end dump we have is heavier than our pneumatics. Only got one frameless anyway.

    Last load off. Headed for the casa.

    Getting a smoked sausage with onions and mustard, and a turkey leg?

    Priceless

    (Eating it in 85 degree weather, still worth it)

    Yes. A lot more freedom to do local work.

    Homecoming parade here today. This train was made by my wife's brother and mom. It's made of styrofoam.

    Pulled into Livingston, MT with 1 min left on my drive line.

    712 miles today.

    560 to go.

    19:29 hours left.

    Called delivery location to verify my 11am Monday appointment. He said I could bring it in early Monday morning and they would see what they could do?
