    Next time for sure! Is king fish the restraunt that's a bit dark inside and boat themed on the river? I really like that Mexican one a but closer to the yard near the river. It seems like every time I'm in town that's where my coordinator takes us.

    Just met spyder and talked for a few hours. I don't think I've mentioned how much I love it here lately.... Serve up another pitcher of koolaid please...

    Hi y'all I am a Melton truck lines driver I have become interested becoming an o/o and running with Landstar I was looking into buying a Melton fleet truck since I drive a KW T660 2012 for them now it's a good running trk well taken care of with Tri-Pak and gets between 6.5 & 7.5 mpg depending on time of year it is an where in the country I am. After placing a question this forum and talking to the KW dealer in Little Rock Arkansas ( who told me I should check into Mercer before going to Landstar) (which I did and wholeheartedly agree after looking into your company and flowing this thread) I was quickly talked out of the KW T660 2010 due to problems with the emission systems from 2008 to 2010 so now I'm looking into other KW T660s and T700 2011 models my big question is melton runs a 236" wheelbase on a 72 inch sleeper which gives plenty of room for front overhang I believe Melton allows us to go 2'6" maybe a little more what is the shortest and the recommended wheelbase for flat bed for safe in front overhang with headache rack any helpful information in finding a good truck would be appreciated thanks
