    @farmerjohn64 if your seriously thinking about teaming look into ODFL (old dominion) I think @blairandgretchen teamed with them for a yr or so. Prob almost double your pay checks right from the get go there. They hire recent grads

    Tell me about it. This is my only social media. I've never bought anything online.
    Suddenly I have amazon.
    I want off this ride.

    When I bought my current outfit it came with 3.08's. It came out of Texas and I'm in northern New England..... There isn't a flat piece of ground longer than 2 trailer lengths here, it's either up or down, especially the two lanes, where I spend most of my time.

    My intent was to immediately swap out the gears to 3.55 or 3.70. As it turned out I kept them for almost a million miles. Mostly because I'm just too frugal to replace parts that ain't broke, but also because they were able to do the job. As @PoleCrusher said, they suck in the hills when you're heavy. Flat ground, light loads , with a 13 speed you'll be fine.

    That used to have decent food. Is the restaurant still closed down?

    Only driven by it twice this year and once in the car.
