    I have an Allison HT754 available, and it is a consideration. My left shoulder has no rotator cuff tendon at all (fast motorcycles!), and my right shoulder is built out of my hip and sewn together with tendon harvested from my leg. One shifter is tough for this cripple but two might be beyond my physical abilities these days. I don't want an automatic but I didn't want to be pieced together either.

    WOW....I just spoke to dispatch and they tell me he's east of P-cola but has 3 other stops first. What the hell posses a driver to fabricate a break down when I could care less if it arrives today or Monday. The depth of some people's ignorance and their propensity to create problems where none existed, nor needed to exist, never ceases to amaze me. The whole #### industry has gone to #### right beside basic values, common sense, and human decency.

    venting complete..... I feel better now.:cool:

    Sounds like a plan. We will call it "Human Decency Training 101"

    The messed up part is I spoke to the driver directly because I already know you can't trust dispatch. Lol

    Also the driver told me he has short ramps that won't work to get the Pete unloaded so I loaded my long ramps and a couple of new batteries into my dually to meet him at the wharehouse today. Now my crippled butt has to unload that crap and load it again Monday. ARGH!!

    Hope it all works out.
    It seems like somebody is full of it.
    Last nite he was in West Texas with a burnt up axle and today he's east of Pensacola.
