    yep, all the coronados are full of lights. No O/O here. Some of the trl's have the chicken lights but not all.

    Well, i guess i meant psp score. I have a friend that has a few warnings for various things and now all these companies are reluctant on taling him, because that all have a high valvue, ie.. 6-10mph over warning, oos for trailer brakes being out of adjustment(bad slack adjuster), a strap was too loose on his load of logs.
    Bad deal it is.. He really wants local work but were we live.. There are 0 local companies other than 1 log hauler that he already left due to bad equipment.
    Anywho, i do plan on getting a gps asap but i have my atlas and google maps to tide me over for the mean time. So you do a lot of chicago or a lot of chicago suburbs? Yall ever load at americold in rochelle offa i39?

    Still looking for something where I canbe home more. Wife and kids realy want that but haven't found anything where I can make the same or more. Not going for a pay cut...lol. I'm keeping my eye open until then ill keep burning up the highways in the white Coronado. If it wasnt for the wife and kids I would just stay here as long as I can. But you know family is first and foremost.

    yes, family is always first. I wouldnt have even came out until after christmas but were getting behind and its a bad time of the year to be behind. I really hope to get a cornado but i then seen yall had 386s and now im torn. Ive had a cascadia with a dd15 and i wasnt impressed with power or fuel efficency. I then read the 386s are 13 speeds.. So i kinda hope for one or the other.. It seems cornados have a long nose but give room inside as well.
    Do most of the trucks have a fridge and power inverter? My laptop just wont run off a plug in power inverter. Plus i have a microwave and george forman ill take as well.

    All the Coronado's have diesel APU's with generators putting out household electricity. They have fridges as well. The Pete's and the Cascadia's have electric APU units. The Pete's are equipped with shore power, so you can have the refer link cable to help keep the batteries charged. I really do like this Cascadia. I bought a fridge that fits in the cabinet a year ago when I was at May still. So I have a fridge. The Pete's are just so bare boned equipped on the inside though. Why could they not order the Cascadia with the 13 speed and the Dynasys APU? This would be one sweet truck if it were equipped that way. I'll keep pestering Mark about the APU though. Gives me something to complain about I guess :)

    u are going to need a cornado because the petes have no enverter.the cornados have apu's that run off diesel,the others are electric.if u get a pete then they will hook up an inverter for u,but it has to be ur inverter.we do run intercity chicago.after a couple of times in there it gets easy.i love chicago because its a change of pace.i have a pc miler and its right on in chicago
