    Ask for the maintenance paperwork always it takes 5 minutes and save yourself thousands of dollars.
    The gliders are being bought by dealerships and selling them real expensive you might find some in ebay

    I have no idea on how I got on their list, but I work for a truck dealership, so maybe I was added automatically when I inquired about trucks at different times.

    You can always call the 800 number for Schneider Trucks and get on the email list. I actually worked for Wheaten Financial until February of this year, right before you closed on your loan. I moved to a larger finance company and I can tell you it is difficult but not impossible to get really good financing for OTR Trucks for Owner/operators. I'd be happy to let you know some tips on getting the best financing for a used truck.

    Well, it's all a mute point, I bought a used glider elsewhere.
    I went and looked at what was at Gary and everything was pretty beat up, so I bought from a dealership.

    It's certainly going to take some getting used to driving a Freightliner again. My Mack does have more room in the driver's area, but overall, the truck was exactly what I was looking for.

    I'm looking forward to pulling loads with it next week, I need to find the time to get all my equipment moved over. I couldn't tell you the last time I drive a 12.7 Detroit.

    first thing I suggest is getting rid of that steering wheel. Imo those steering wheels are very chinsy. Get you a nice comfortable one. I changed the one out in my peterbilt for a mohogan one. like 180 bucks. Very comfortable.
