    Turn the cruise control completely off,meaning the
    Icon on the display panel is off.(not showing).
    Put it in reverse, then use the plus/minus button
    On the steering wheel to bump the idle up or down.
    Gives you a little more push when backing up.

    Another driver who actually read the owners manual
    Told me about it. I still haven't opened mine yet. Lol.

    I just left out from the house after 10 days off.
    Can't count all the money I've made in the past
    Few months.

    Bought the fridge for the peterbuilt. 578 bucks.
    500 for the fridge, 25 for the bracket,the rest was taxes.
    Shop put it in. Works excellent. Worth every penny.
    Fits into the bottom right cabinet if your sitting
    On the bed. Now I can carry fresh food and not have to
    Worry about it going bad.

    Mounted the tv in the bunk.
    You can unscrew the bracket that's mounts to the tv
    And take it with you to check and see if it fits on
    Whatever television you're going to use.

    It's got a couple of pre-set holes already drilled
    Into it. Wouldn't you know they lined up perfectly
    With the tv that I had.
    5 bucks for a couple screws and lock washers and
    That was that.

    Got a new, clean load lock and put it across the
    The top,back corner inside the cab.
    I can hang my clothes or anything else from it.
    Went to wal-mart and got a couple of those 10
    Dollar closet organizers and hung them on that load lock.

    Went from no room,to more room than I need.
    Nothing's on the floor to trip over or move 10
    Times a day.

    I'm heading to Oregon,trying to get every penny I
    Can out of them again.

    The one thing that helped with Magnum's 579 was a shoe organizer in the closet...and not for shoes. I hung it on the clothes hanger rod and it gave me a place to put my socks and scivies out of sight.

    Retired my old maxxforce and jumped into one of the older internationals. Was told by Bill that they were keeping the good running older ones for the foreseeable future so hopefully won't have to change over to a new truck for a while.
    Had to rescue a load yesterday and bring it up to Springfield, Ohio which was fine, more miles for me without having to go through Grand prairie for a couple of more days.
    And whoever said I would love elogs after being on them, well you were wrong. Still turning good miles but losing money overall as expected.
     
    Bumper and 28 Thank this.

    20171011_191844.jpg Martin gave me one of these for my B'day.

    Does anybody know how much it is worth and if I can give it to someone else (not you) to use?

    If it is like the 10.00 card we get anyone should be able to use it at either Sam's or WM. Not sure how much it is worth though.

    Didn't think we delivered into NYC but I guess we do. First time in 5 years that Brooklyn, NY was offered. Actually they called me ahead of where I likely was on the board as I am sure folks were turning it down. Delivers just a couple of blocks from where I used to live so shouldn't be too much of a problem, getting out in afternoon rush hour may be though .

    Tony once told me that we had a delivery in Brooklyn and that it was ez in, ez out and there was overnight parking if you got there the night before. Don't know if it is the same place.
