An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Not the way they have ours spec'd. As tall as you are, you'd be miserable driving this truck. We have the full height cabinets behind the seats, so in the driver's seat, if you want to lean back any, you have to adjust the seat so your knees are bent up under the steering wheel, if you want to straighten out your legs, you have to sit straight up. I'm only 5'9", and to reach anything in the upper cabinet beyond the very front, I have to climb up on the upper bunk(which I use the upper bunk for storage because there isn't enough other usable storage). And with the Carrier APU, my passenger side box is totally used by the Carrier hvac box. And the upper bunk isn't like other trucks. It's basically a frame with high strength fabric attached with no front lip, so unless you rachet strap everything down, it slides off. And this thing rides like an apple cart. I much prefer the condo KW-680 all the way around, even our mid-roof 680's would be more comfortable (except the file cabinet style fridge the older KW's have)

 

Thanks for the heads-up on Wichita, I will be there Sunday or early Monday depending on load time. Todays unload took a while. The place is a packaging manufacturer that is adding a line and they don't have a lot of room to store stuff inside so they had to unload us in the order they were gonna install stuff so it didn't matter when you came in, you got unloaded when they said. 5 hours after our 8 am pin delivery, I was empty.

Initially I was told that my next load was an elevator load out of Joliet, but I said impossible. At the time I had 6:20 on my 70 and hadn't logged a minute to unload and Joliet was 300 miles away. Plus I don't get any hours back until Saturday, so add the load, unload and travel time to the shipper and I probably wouldn't have enough time to get off the property. I could have PC'd to the closest truckstop, but they decided to pull me off the load instead. Now I am picking up north of Detroit going to Spirit in Wichita. It says for a Monday delivery but dispatch isn't sure they'll be open on the holiday, should find out tomorrow. Either way, if I don't get a restart, I am gonna be getting a lot of hours back over the weekend and into early next week.

 

Is that what it is? There is no load description, just a 7000 lb load weight. It says flatbed so I hope it fits on a step.

All these OD loads you post has me starting to consider going back to pulling them over the winter
