    how many in your orientation?

    I saw my truck 1909 in the yard yesterday (as I drove by).. maybe you'll get it. It was pretty reliable for me.

    There are three of us going through tomorrow. I was debating switching trucks but I don't want to switch again. I finally got mine running right. They were saying they were just going to pull the headache rack and o/s beacons off of yours and switch them to my truck. Plus I like all the extra room in this freightliner. By the way, congratulations on the new gig, hope it works out good for you!

    Ya that'd be better. Not sure what you have, but there's no apu or bunk heater on 1909 anyway. That kinda sucked. I liked the headache rack on it though, compared to some of the ones ws has on other guys' trucks.

    Oh and thanks! I'm hauling sawdust and chips with doubles. Enjoying driving an 18spd! But physically its kinda kicking my ###.

    Good luck with the orientation tomorrow!

    Yeah I like the rack on there with the door, does that hold all the chains and binders? I'm driving a 07 century also with no bunk heater or apu.
    Have fun with that 18 speed, I miss that more than anything from my last company. Well that and a 550 cat. Once you get used to it you'll never want anything else
