    Rare and heavy. I pull a conestoga and I know I will have to pass on some loads. But I'm as happy as a kid on a candy store. Now I have to buy flip flops to wear with socks on lol

    Same engine I have in 01 Freightliner original from factory. Just got DOT 2 x in 10 days. 2nd time told to park on scale and bring in logbook. I wondered how they knew I had paper Log book. Wonder if this is the beginning of harassment. Either way I was legal
