    Joplin MO FJ. Contimplating staying here for super bowl and wake up early to hit con in fort smith ar for monday morning 120ish miles away. Or hit some po-dunk truck stop closer. Get a 34 reset here as well if i stay. Probably will just unsure as of now. Last game football wise for a while, early start time is never bad to do as well.

    At the Hook xt 7, Texarkana, R-can saw. About 460 miles from cons. Should get there tomorrow early afternoon. They are closed on weekends, nothing about overnight parking in directions, but seeing them on satellite pic looks good to me, can't tell if there is a gate ot not set up doesn't look like there is one. Though using the iPad there is a couple bar and grills within easy walking distance to catch the game.

    I only drove one once for a day at my old co. I kept forgetting the high gear until I noticed the rpm's being high, then realizing I had another 1/2 gear I could use.

    The only time I drove a 13 was at school. I really liked it because the shift pattern is a square, no more having to go all the way over for 6th gear. On top of that, when you were in 9th and ready for 13th let off the fuel, flip the button, wait a couple of seconds and away you went.

    Yeah, exactly what I'd forget about. I wasn't a fan of the 8. We had one at my old place everything else was a 10 except that 13. I always had trouble with it, because it was like an X, or figure 8 pattern, and only driving it on occasion would screw me up. Probably be ok if it was a daily driver, just never got used to it.

    Ah, makes sense. I know I saw at least 3 or 4 of those loads while SITTING at the terminal on Thursday.
