    I have always installed my own CB in the trucks here at climate. I've also installed my own televisions. You just have to ask them for the mounting stuff if it's not in the truck that you get cuz apparently some drivers decide to just take that stuff with them and not put the new mounting kits in the truck they got out of. Now the shop will install that stuff if you ask them I do believe I just never seen the need for having them do it. The one thing I will caution you about though is do not drill any holes or damage any of the interior parts of that truck with installation stuff and things look of that nature. I heard one time that a driver drilled a hole in the overhead compartment and they charged him for it to replace the entire overhead I'm sure that was pretty expensive.

    Man if you get to Colby you'll be in trial good shape. It didn't seem like the snow would start falling til you got to Goodland I'm guessing. Someone on another thread felt good about getting to Limon, but I'd bet that is packed pretty good too.

    Oh yeah, and they are every bit as quick as the location in Denver. I was empty in less than 20 min when I went.

    I'm sitting in Republic waiting to drop off Hershey. It took so long to get empty at Coke...8.5 hrs I was there. I had to find a reserve tank somewhere to make this run. I wouldn't mind if they took 3 hrs so i could get a nap.

    Well I passed you sometime of back there. I'm going by the 193 here on 44. I stopped and took an hour power nap I got a hundred and one mile to go and an hour and 46 minutes of drive time left. I've been to McLane down there in Springfield I didn't remember being called Republic but okay they were fairly quick when I was there.

    We're probably gonna be awhile getting unloaded this time at the market. Waiting on a dock. I broke the seal and opened the door. All 3 load locks failed. Whole back of trailer is covered in watermelons. The pallets going forward all shifted sideways or at least the ones i can see did. We drove careful too cuz i was trying to keep them from shifting. I don't know if the load locks woulda held if it would a made any difference or not. I don't understand why they didn't hold. I always lock em in at an angle and tap em up or down till straight so they lock in place. This sucks. I suppose they'll try to blame us for the damaged produce.

    Well the dock boss at produce market said they could tell that the load wasn't loaded and stacked properly. Dispatch said they don't lay any blame on us for this load being jacked up. I'd post photos from my phone on here but i can't seem to figure out how to do it. I know I've never seen anything like this mess before.
