Flatbed Questions

I have heard a couple of people mention they are getting more new trucks, so I suppose its only a matter of time.

From looking around the forums the 9400's seem to be a fairly decent truck. Wish they had the larger sleepers though. While Id like one of the prostars as well, so long as I can manage a place to stick a cooler I wont complain.

 

I would have to agree with you. The only other thing is that they are very cheap manual mirrors etc.....

 

Well manual mirrors do sorta suck. Its nice to be able to adjust them in a hurry to see something etc..

 

Don't do anything in a hurry. Problem solved.

 

Didn't mean it as I would be doing anything in a hurry, but there have been times where i could move the mirror and see just fine without having to set the brakes and get out in the rain/snow, or hang out the passenger window.

Electric mirrors are simply a convenience, even with them Ive set the brakes many times to make sure. If it takes me 5-10 extra mins to make sure I don't destroy something, those are 5-10 mins i welcome.

 

no they a nessisary to do you job! Go try LTL with manual mirrors . Blindsiding off a 4 lane 55mph road into a sunkin inside dock is nothing with a power mirror and some skill.

This is true, but it can be done without them. Might piss a few 4-wheelers off, but that is there problem lol

 

Well I'm headed to PA Sunday morning, flight says ill get there around lunch. So glad i dont have to be on a bus for 26hours. It only ended up costing my about 20 bucks, well once i get reimbursed on my first check.


Anyhow Ill be sure to post an update monday.

 

all the best to ya...!!!!!
let us know how your doing....!!!

 

20.00 bucks is well worth not taking the bus.I'll never ride a bus again in my life. Good luck to you and keep up dates
