What was the most beneficial piece of advice you received?

The longest day that I can recall...(wasn't that long ago...Febuary of 08 I think)

Surgoinsville, TN (home) to Lansing, MI and back in 22 hours. (my route around Ohio makes it little over 1300 miles if I remember right)

That old International would run pretty good...easily 3 digits, but I never held it there.

 

those 1000 mile days get harder and harder to do every year. That used to be the expected day when I ran with my dad. These days it kills me.

Heck I did 850 yesterday, unloaded, reloaded and did most the miles at 60mph average with that heavy sucker... That was a long day. 21 hours if I remember right then only slept 4 and had to go unload. Needless to say I napped most the day like some old fart

 

I sure feel like it. Of course sitting on the floor of a non air ride cab helps ya along fast

 

it's not worth the effort. you have to rebuild the structure inside the cab and the sleeper to add all the bracing required to bolt them together. I actually like the non air ride cab. it make the truck feel like its running on rails. Nice n tight in the turns, none of that body sway etc. I'd just be happy to get a decent seat, preferably one without an air leak that makes you have to refill it every two minutes... lol that's why it's on the floor

 

I ride low anyways. I want a lowrider seat so I can have some air in it and still be low. the stock pete seats I end up with just and inch or two of air in them and then they bottom out which is worse then just sitting on the floor in the first place

 

MMM you are the man!
