    Me neither. Somewhere that has been crossed off my map, regardless of the pay etc.
    Hell, I detest going to Dundalk in Balt, but it pays good, and if you time it right you can escape (relatively speaking) pretty quick.

    Agreed. The money they want to pay to head out East OD isn't worth it to me.
    Midwest to West or North West is good for my blood pressure these days...

    You can buy anything these days. I have to remember where I read this, probably landline. However, An independent, non bias study was done based on Easy access to service centers, cost of maintainence, parts, comfort,.......etc. Freightliner was on top with a score of 73, then volvo with 71, pete 8, KW 7, International 4,then some other trucks I never heard off. These were the overall scores. Scores stood out in my mind because of the drastic drop from volvo 71, to Pete 8. JD Powers, pay to play!!!!

    That question might be better off asked in the cb radio forum.
