    I would shoot one of my fellow Con-way drivers in the foot to drive an 08 387. I drive an 04 Sterling and think it's the best thing since sliced bread..lol..

    Bahahahaha, I'm glad I'm not a Conway driver with a hole in my foot. Do you guys have a terminal before the clearfield exit right there between I80 and 322?

    That is true. Remember when drivers had to wear a kidney belt?

    My POS would be an 84 International 8600 with a 400hp Cummings and 15 under trans. hendrickson spring ride with no a/c or radio. It would pull just about anything.

    Cummins* Sorry couldn't resist, for some reason it annoys me when people add the "G".

    P.S I know when you spell check it's very easy to hit change when it wants to add the "G"
