    I found out about my load for tomorrow. It is a round trip load. Pays $485.00 to the truck. Pays 140 miles times 2 (round trip) 280 total loaded miles. 40 miles dead head to get it. 40 miles dead head home when done. 360 total miles. $1.35 a mile not great. Just Trucking.
    P.S. didn't ask about fuel surcharge. May be a little more money added for fuel surcharge.

    Does your truck have a fifth-wheel release in the cab? Is that what I see on the dash?

    Here are a few shifting tips for ya, hope this help. A super ten is nothing but a five speed. Each hole is two gear. 1st gear(range button down), 2nd gear(range button up) pre-select back to low range and shift into third, 4th gear range button up, 5th gear, preselect button down and shift into 6, etc,etc,etc Hope this helps. There is a great video on you tube showing how to do this. go to you tube and and type en eaton fuller super ten.....Good Luck

    Yep, it's like a 3 step process between the flip-switch and the pull toggle.

    I like the maroon color in your sleeper. Mine is very dark. Grey interior cab and sleeper.

    Wanna trade??? lol I like gray. Light gray is a little better though and more roomy looking.

    Red and mauve are not 2 colors I would have put together... blues would have been nice. But it's clean and the overall impression is very nice, so yes I'm very grateful and happy with it.

    My wife was asking about your butt slapping hippo. I thought it was butt slapping Barney. I did not know it was a hippo. Good-luck tomorrow. Did you see the info on my load tomorrow. I thought I would give you more accurate numbers. I was just guessing when we were talking on the phone.

    ROFL!
    I thought it was Barney for the longest time myself. Texas-Nana pointed out that it is Kozo the Hippo (you can google it for videos)

    Be nice if you got a FSC in that deal. $1.35 obviously better than $1.25, but I'd be digging into my maintenance and repair fund to run that low at least until my truck is paid off. $1.22 is my figure before ME, and that's still without health insurance or any kind of personal benefits.
