    Flatbroke,

    When you mean a 400 series, you mean a truck that does not have standing head room in it?

    I have been working job after job. I am parked at a TA in Harrisburg, PA. I joined the club of Idle-Air users. Its Sweet! First night i have had some sleep. Not much to report other than every load I have had lately has been 40,000 plus. It makes for a long day.
