    Wow, a day cab? That would have been some trip right there.

    Hey W/S drivers, do y'all have any automatics?
    I only ask cause I dont know how long my knees will hold out.

    We've heard that there are a few automatics, but not sure what's needed to get into one.

    However, the Cascadias don't require a lot of knee strength to use the clutch, if I remember correctly from driving one in orientation.

    Sweet, at the Days Inn in Conover. Is there a truck stop nearby that I could get an atlas from? I really should have gotten one on the way here...

    Closes Truck Stop would be the Wilco on I-40 at Rock Barn RD exit 133. There is a back way to get there but seeing how you don't have a map you may just want to get back on 40 and go down a couple of exits.

    I start on May 2nd so I should see you there. I'm local so if you need anything give me a pm.
