    To be honest, that is my favorite style headlight, for the 4x6. It has a more classic look about it. Alot of individual led chips, or projectors look funny in that tiny square 4x6 box.

    Larger round, or what Tug has, a 5x7 maybe,? his look nice & fit the slightly more modern look of the 9200i really well. And bonus, he can actually se where he's going.. lol

    Thank you both @Tug Toy @Hurricane69

    Those look like the shrimp tacos from Boston Pizza.

    That'd be a 35ton? Maybe a 40 evenly distributed, so still over capacity either way..

    I'm learning too, but something seemed fishy about that whole thread.. o_O

    @stwik I'm at that point where within the next year or two I'm going to have to make the decision between trucking and my wife/family. The road life is an addiction. I'm already starting to feel more drawn to running down the white line than being at home. It's dangerous.

    That all said, I won't ever give up on my wife. She's having a hard time with me being out here especially when I'm sitting and not heading towards home, but it's the only way I can make a whole bunch of money really quickly without much stress. Once the down payment is together and the mortgage is signed, I'm going to start looking towards the future.

    My boss already knows about my training history at New Hope and is talking like she wants me running the show down the road when it comes time to start bringing in fresh out of school drivers. I've said I'll consider it when the time comes but right now it's all about truckin'.

    In all honesty, for the right salary, I'll leave big road trucking behind in a heart beat, even if it means having to tolerate greenhorns grinding gears, sitting in an office again and putting on clothes I've never been too comfortable wearing (collared shirt and slacks, etc) to talk in front of a classroom of wide-eyed newbies.

    I've been told I'm good at training, I've got a way of helping people understand things and explaining complex ideas more simply. It's a skill I have and if someone wants to pay me right to use it, I may as well take being home every night as a perk.

    You gotta do what's best for you and the people in your life. Just take the time to think about what you want and where you want to be in the next 2, 5 and 10 years. Give it some time and it'll become more clear as things go on.

    I’m with ya. Your right something fishy about a guy with all that hardware and doesn’t know how to load it. Then comes on here or YouTube to find out.

    Thats why I get the feeling he isn't charging enough.
