Started Natonal Training

So we did all of our tests today. I got straight line backing, blind side offset, and sight side parallel. Aced them, then passed my road test.

I was so happy!!

I've been waiting for this since I was a little kid. I start with Roehl on the 31st for orientation.

 

I had 95. I love that Freightshaker. Although truck 3 with that 9-speed and Detroit diesel 60 series sounded beautiful.

97 and 95 both have that wicked shimmy at 45-55 mph, but 95 is a little more bearable.

 

I know what you mean.

Mike the mechanic said in januray their buying brand new trucks for the road, yes brand new 2011's.

Their sending the backing trucks (the kw's and the cabover) to the grave yard. Their putting 97, 95, and i think the international 9200i road trucks on the backing pad. The new 2011's will be the road trucks.

 

I was thinking about it, you also gotta think about how much fuel they burn, they replace the clutches in each truck about every 3-4 months. They also have to pay taxes, registrations for the 5 road trucks. I guess it would add up to them making a good but not huge profit off of each class I suppose.
