    Jack rear axles up. Put in first gear, release tractor brakes and let out clutch. Sleep tight!

    So my daily driver is a 8LL eaton, i have a twin for it as a spare. We got a brand spanking new truck while i was training a new driver. The new truck was a shaker automatic, (mine is corn fed) so the boss has me take out the new truck, run it through the paces, and decide if i want it. I hate the #### thing. Gutless wonder, thing progressive shifts through every gear, loaded or not. Seat is hard as rock. Yeah its got air bag suspension vs my solid state.. thats its ONLY plus. Told the boss, im keeping my girl. We understand each other.

    So the other driver caught a rock, and hes in my spare cornbinder till his glass gets done. Already complaining... (i cant say what i called him without getting banned)...

    Wow a free room and you won't take it?

    Because of what?

    You can't run do it because of what is tight?

    Take the room, tell the company to adjust the time and enjoy a nice night's sleep.
