    Baritone i would talk with the terminal manager's about your problum and see what they say and if you cant get it fixed with them i would call craig (day shift) or willie (night shift) shop fleet managers at black river falls and you should be a able to get it changed out i would think with no prob.

    I didnt make it to trenton today because they didnt get my truck finished.But will be done late this afternoon so i will be back out tomarrow.Im sure we will cross pathes sometimes and i will give you shout out.

    if the display on your screen is going out they should replace it just make to let them know you would like one with a auxillary output if possible. if not you could always just take the radio out and unplug the antenna out of the back of the radio so you dont have to worry about switching stations all the time just make sure to hook it up before swapping to another truck or turning that one in.

    I 've seen the millis trucks using the idle air at the truck stops. do they pay for that or is that on the driver?

    Spoke to the "Man" in the Trenton Terminal and all I got was "We order them when we need them so nothing is laying around". I did swap the one from the rescue truck since at least you can read what station your on and the time. He did tell me he was ok with me buying my own radio just as long as I keep the factory one so it can be put back in when I ever get a new(er) truck.

    I am going to hopefully get by Richfield this week or so and will see if they have something before I buy one myself. But it's killing me not have satellite.

    Thought I would give a update - Finally got a load on Tuesday after my home time. DH to Trenton and got a beer load to Chattanooga. Made that delivery early actually. As soon as I pulled into the customer I had a pre-plan for another load.

    I DH to Shelbyville TN for my load going to Elk Grove Village IL. It's not due to deliver until Friday morning. I am stopped for the night in Terre Haute since there was an accident on 41 North so hit 164 and the Pilot on the first exit off of 64 W.

    So far things are going along - only been a few days but happy as can be so far. Now if I can just get my inverter installed I would be overjoyed LOL!

    Be safe!
