    2006 International 9400i, 670k miles. Hell washing that truck made it look 100% better. Only thing I couldn't get really clean is the drive rims. Which I'm not to concerned about it. As for that little comment about the age. Kicker is one of the guys from orientation said that exact comment word for word. Finished packing up my truck today, few things I need to put in it (mostly clothes). But got a cooler, tv, antenna, snacks, food, drinks, tons of tools, all my paperwork, new pillow / sheets and covers.. Sh*tttt truck actually feels like home now. I'm happy with how it turned out so far.

    Btw, 3rd load came into today as a pre-plan. Then assigned automatically. I'm happy with it anyways. Palatka FL, to Lewiston ME. 38 mt, 1390 loaded. Pretty happy with this load.

    I don't feel bad, when I saw these trucks in the yard I was hoping I would get one. I feel comfortable in it. The two runs I made in the truck really sucked though, just got the truck nothing in it. Had to shut it down in that truck 3 times... I was bored out of my f'-ing mind. If you want man, pm me your number and I'll shoot you a txt. If we are ever in the same area we can meet up.

    Fair enough!

    I know cost of living is more but I honestly didn't think it was THAT much.

    You guys make ALLOT more then american drivers, and like Lantern said your cost of living is Allot higher up there. Wanna compare Diesel prices? :biggrin_25525:

    Most first year OTR drivers make $25,000- $35,000 GROSS first year, so ya i did good. Anyone that does $35k+ first year did pretty good.
