    You pretty much nailed it on the head. They were all worried based on the old stories. The first trucks have EGR & DPF, and they have had no issues. Throw in the DEF system on top and you could probably run the exhaust through the sleeper and be okay.

    A LOT !!!!

    My fiancé just went thru this with Verizon. Her radio at the office broke so she used Pandora Radio app and listened to music for 2 days (say 10 hours total) and it used 1GB. She has a 2GB plan so luckily I caught it before it went over.....just had to buy a new radio, but was cheaper than the overage charges

    I think anyone that complains just wants to complain and there is a good chance they're ignorant

    I took a picture of this guys load today. It is plastic pipe, but I dont think he has enough securement. I counted 8 stake pockets between straps over the top of the load, that is about 16'. Shouldnt he have another strap over each bundle?

    Well I'd have Atleast spread the 2 belly straps on the back bundle apart and threw 1 more over the top of both, needless to say guys they don't lose loads like this are lucky!!!!
