    Do you end up DH to Seattle area or into Idaho to get loads then? I drop in Spokane in the morning with a reload out of Idaho about 150 mile dh... Not the best paying but made good coming up here and the load I'm picking in Idaho takes me to St. Louis area so should be able to get a good load there...

    I need some help here. When I give the truck some fuel 5lbs to 15ish? She jerks and bounces a little. Same thing at take offs or stop and go traffic. Any idea were to start looking? I don't think it's a 5th wheel issue.
    Almost feels like a torque issue but not sure were to check. Drive line is tight.

    Filters all look good. Its only doing it when im coming out of Jake brake or just giving her fuel(take off/ going down the road) Its almost like something is broken somewhere a bushing a mount or something and i just can't find it..

    I thought that list of items that will score you extra safety points through Mercers inspection was in the blue book? I don't see it... Does anyone know can the Seat belt pad or whatever its called be any bright color or does it have to be Neon yellow or Orange? Its that thing that goes on a seatbelt so its easier for DOT and Police to see your wearing it.

    Securement question for you guys.

    I'm picking an HEMTT tomorrow morning. How to secure? Just want to verify. I'm thinking two pieces of securement per corner. Is that correct? Supposed to be around 38k.

    Btw, pictures would be great.
