    Hey Tim, regarding Waynesboro, well I don't have a problem but some do? I think it is about approach, IMHO. Training varies, a couple of weeks maybe, that depends on you. Trucks are assigned, and taking them home depends. Hope this helps. Good luck.

    Waynesboro is basically what you make of it, just like anything else. Just make a point to keep the lines of communication open and be ready to accept the fact that hiccups happen at times. As far as taking your truck home you can unless you live relatively close to the yard.

    13-speed stick, fridge yes, and I believe the inverter policy is up to 1000 watt continuous, bring the cable kit too and the shop will install for you?
