    It's because they think they are the center of the universe and everything revolves around them...which reminds me of a joke...

    How many Ostergards does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

    Just one, they hold the lightbulb, and the world revolves around them

    Load 2 delivered...it took me longer to roll my straps back up than it did to unload me. Then deadheaded me back to the SPD terminal. They said go ahead and do a restart. I ran a little over 3300 miles in 5.25 days, so the 70 was gonna be an issue, so restarting and being ready to go Friday morning will give me lots of time to run hard over the weekend again...just like I prefer.

    Ehhhhh. It's better than a Maxxfarce, but it ain't no Cummins. It'll probably do better once I get better adjusted to where it pulls best with a 13 speed.

    What is yours set at? And is it a multi-torque? I have the 2023 version of the T680 with the integrated drivetrain.

    I really miss the engine brake on the X-15, ok I guess the quiet of the MX is nice, but even when we had the 500 hp setting on the Paccar I still preferred the drivability of the X-15. Though the $1,100 per month fuel savings ain’t bad lol.

    I have a Cummins and honestly I’m not too overly impressed with it. Now granted I do run 85,500 everywhere. But on the flip side of that, so does every one else at my company and they just stroll away from me with their CAT engines. :mad:

    Ok, a week in on new reading material brought to us by our resident truth teller, and truth be told, this is turning into some good reading. Glad that other company is getting farther and farther in your mirrors. Here’s hoping for a good turn of events.
    Cheers Brother!
