    Well all I can say is I got this PM with a link to the rules saying to read them in bold hyperlink, I have some common sense and I was guessing that I did something wrong and the only thing I have done is post here in this topic for over a month. So I figured I should watch what I say and I know forums are worried about people advertising and such , its no big deal I will just make sure I don't sound like an advertiser or something like that.

    Not sure if I mentioned it or not but I love this #### truck. It lacks in some places , governer is 65 ( I driver around this speed but passing is a pain sometimes ),narrow cab squeezing through to the sleeper,and the camera is kind of invasive since it points in the cab and out front but besides that if I have to live in a vehicle this isn't bad. When I walk from through the parking lots from whereever to the truck it always makes me happy to see it. with the options this truck has I can't really say I would change anything hardware wise. Apu has worked well, inverter and bunkheater make it very comfortable. Most mornings when I don't hit the road right away I kick back and watch a movie and keep an eyeon the truck stop swirling around like crazy until its my time to go.
    I drove a day cab for a while before this , Mack mostly and I liked it a lot also , but I don't get NEARLY as fatigued driving this KW T660 as I did the Mack. I don't know exactly why but usually at 10.5 hours of driving over 11-14 hours I feel fine. I wonder is there is a spray or some kind of voodoo doll I can put down to keep Freightliners and Volvo's from parking near me ?:biggrin_2555:

    Banger, I am a recruiter for Melton I can answer questions you may have. :)


    Cannon, I agree. While there are certain things I miss about my century, this KW is a little easier to drive. Definitely pulls better, gets better mpg ... bunk even feels a little more spacious without the cabinets.

    Noggin, I put my app in the other day. Really looking to get back on the road about the end of January after all the holiday stuff settles down. I have been off the road since 4/10, is that too long?
