    Oh and I am pulling flat, step, and RGN with it now. Hopefully in a couple of weeks it will be just pulling flat with Mercer mudflaps!

    @RStewart At one point you had posted that you were looking at used Melton trucks. I've looked at some of those as well. Any takeaways you'd care to share based on the research you did last year? I notice that many of their Cascadias are being sold with less than 400k on them. I wonder how well Melton maintains their fleet.

    Hope there is still room for more trucks when Im ready to come over in about 1.5 years...

    Anyway just wanted to drop in and say hi to you Mercer boys... got my eye on a spot in 2018!

    Hope there is still room with the way I see people flocking to a good company like this!

    Just to add... read thousands of posts and hundreds of threads on this site... none better then this one.... not one!

    Be well all and stay safe!

    I did look into them but didn't do a lot of research. I was told by a few people to stay away from the cummins engine in their trucks. But I do know a couple people that have the cummins & love it.

    I don't know anything about their Cacadias.

    So they took the password off the fuel sight again? Is the IT department just making up jobs cause they the have no work? Anyway story time.

    I really like these new trucks. About a week ago I was driving along and my check engine light comes on. GRRRR. So I do the normal fluid checks and everything seems fine. I had my truck scheduled for PM and overhead at the end of the week so I called my shop to see if they thought I could make the rest of the week or head straight to a shop. My guy says let me call you back in a minute after I log into your truck. Say what? I'm 1500 miles away LOL. Sure enough 5 mins later he calls back tells me what caused the light and not to worry, just bring the truck in when I'm I had planned at the end of the week. Man with my old man truck I would have had the truck in the shop that night and spent a ton of money for nothing.

    And @farmboy73 dont bother with the DD13.
