    that'd be a nice little turn. Wish I cold get something running to Milwaukee. It'd be easier to see the girlfriend :biggrin_25525:

    After having a 72" and the current ride being an 86" ............... I'm all about the space. An 86" fits one guy pretty good.

    The 72 is tiny inside compared to a 63 Pete. I love my 86 but i also like the small flat top sleepers.

    Those Milwaukee runs turned out to be crap, maybe once a week, so here i am with my head up my ### again.

    At least the reefer isn't rocking the truck and stomping around or kicking walls like livestock. :biggrin_2559: Talk about having a hard time getting sleep.

    Well, this is random, but I almost had 30,000 pounds of peanut butter melt on me because I forgot to "pre-chill" the reefer. Luckily, it wasn't that hot of a day and it got up to that perfect 2.6 degrees centigrade in 20 minutes:) This is one interesting job.

    I went from a 62" flat-top Areocab, to a 72" Areodyne. Would be nice if the mattress was the same width as the one in the 62. Would a bit more room to stand up. Nice about it, though, the mattress isn't hard as a rock, like the smaller ones are.
