    I'll tell ya, Ive driven ####ty aero trucks, an older Volvo 770, a w900, a cascadia and my current T660. The W900 was the best lookin, plus it had the big sleeper so that was nice. But the sleeper on the 770 was the best. My current T660 makes me not miss those 2 trucks too much and if it had the bigger sleeper with the fold out couch/bed and a fridge I wouldn't really miss the others at all.

    Was gonna sign on with Dynamic till they told me 4 1/2 hrs was to close to terminal and can’t take truck home. No thanks. 9 hrs of my home time to get to and from work? Not worth it.

    Well I actually called them back because everything I need, the miles, the pay, the rider/pet policy, bennifits, I mean everything I’m looking for, they have and since I don’t mind running for longer than 7-10 days they offered me a position and orientation starts Jan 8th! Pretty excited about the move. It just felt like this is where I need to be and I’ll deal with the commute.

    Yes indeed.

    A manual steering gear box has... what... 8 turns maybe from end to end?

    My newfangled 579 only has about 3 1/2 or so. When the power steering fails on that, you’re only going straight.

    That’s like asking one’s preference of diarrhea vs constipation. :biggrin_25523:
