    Eh I’d rather try to wait for this truck to upgrade. I was expecting an upgrade in about a year with this one. I want a new truck as soon as I can get my hands on one. Tired of cabinets that don’t want to close unless I slam them and all.

    Have you tried adjusting the latches. It’s not hard.

    Usually it’s just the loops that the latches hook onto. Bring them towards you a little and see if it helps. Or see if the latches themselves are able to be moved a little.

    I don’t have my KW anymore since I’m local. If I did, I’d be able to help you more. Try looking on youtube

    Last pick up for the week. Get here to find out that it’s not ready, and they’ve had a paint spill. Not to mention that I sat around the yard for 3.5 hrs waiting for it to be time to head over here. Glad I’m being paid hourly today.

    How is the local
    Work? I’m looking to get into it after a year or two so I can focus on getting a house and all.

    At my company, it doesn’t pay nearly as well as regional. I’m still driving a sleeper truck, but it has the Eaton Automated 10spd. Spend most days running around in city traffic. I do enjoy going home every night though.
