At least you didn't get the crap load I got this morning. 370 miles to the middle of nowhere. To someone's house on a back road that sure as heck was not truck friendly and a heavy as heck load from a mine that is 370 miles right back to the yard. Just in time for round 2 of crappy, I'm sure. Oh, and the load was put on me last night at 11 pm while I was sleeping & no one bothered to tell me until my fm came in this morning and texted me wondering why I hadn't left since it was due to deliver at noon. Oh, and the place I delivered expected it at 8 am to boot. Nope, not happy about that. Mainly because if you don't actually talk to a driver, don't put a load on them and just say oh well. Lets just say night dispatch is on my crap list at this point.

Ok... Ok... Your trip trumped my trip...

I'll keep my light load and babysit it all the way to two Publix within a mile of each other.

Ya... That not getting it until morning and then being late because of it would have brought out the sailor within me as well.

My Cobra 29 LX fits just fine.

Maybe I can rig something up. I just don't want it falling out and hitting me in the head.

This is my second 680, both fit my Cobra 29, I had to give up my Connex, the 29 is the only radio that fits in the opening.

For those who want to run an export radio in the overhead, I recommend the Mirage MX36HP.

It's a pretty good little powerhouse that is the same size as a Cobra 29, so it'll fit in most of the overhead compartments in the trucks without modification. I have one and love it. While it's no Connex or General Lee, it does a nice job!

Slept with the engine off and the windows cracked last night... Large parking lot with hardly a soul around me...

Felt like camping this morning when I awoke.

Thanks for the info on the c.b. mounting I am getting a t680 in August. I run a general lee might have to get a cobra 29.

On our way to Richmond, will be in at 3 this afternoon. Should have been in about noon, but unfortunately for me, Mother Nature took over on the deadhead from Nashville to Conyers Ga, and hit every rest area, truck stop and one off ramp to...... Well you get the picture. Feeling good now though.
