    Yes, they are very good. That is a great truck stop and right by my home. We park the truck there on short stops at home.

    LOL, kind of figured, my sweetie parks her rig there when she is home and so do I when I am in the area so I can visit the grand babies. Haven't done the Anheuser Busch run in a while though.

    We alternate home times between Las Vegas and Loveland so we get to see each other.

    I enjoyed reading your thread. Keep up the good work, and I hope USX continues to treat you guys right. :biggrin_255:

    My advice would be to keep the truck you have (if possible) and work out the bugs. This way you know where stand with it. Moving into a new truck's a pain.

    That is exactly what we are doing. I just want this one all fixed.
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    I just made a post on our blog about the inside of our truck with a few pictures to show how we have it organized. The refrigerator/microwave idea only works for solo or married team drivers. I have no idea how you get by if you need both bunks.

    I read both yours and Anne's post on your blog. I like how you have your truck set up. Thanks for posting the pictures and you must sleep soundly if the thump didn't wake you up.:biggrin_25525:

    Lol, it was a bit more than a "thump". I was thrown out of bed. Not a fun way to wake up.

    LOL, well I think she left that out. The way I read it that you never woke up, could be I read it wrong. Either way no one got hurt so that is good.

    Glad you got to post your blog address... I need a few more posts, in order to send you a PM for some trivial questions. They're kind of 'off thread'. But since this one you started is such an excellent recounting of your 'newbie' adventure, I'll ask a few here (for the wannabes).

    I guess the first one would be why you went with USTDS (besides it's proximity to Loveland)? What did you think of the other schools in NoCo?

    Must say you guys are an inspiration!
