I spent the last 2 nights there, not a bad place... Drove 640 miles today, sitting at some TS in Bismarck, ND, the first 200 miles were in freezing fog or I could have gone further... Also eliminated my biggest pet peeve, not being able to listen to, or even find, an entire radio program that I want to listen to before leaving the area, bought an XM/Sirius radio, LOVE IT!
I've had XM in my personal vehicle since '04 and I'll NEVER go back to commercial terrestrial radio....The Boneyard rules!!
Guys and Gal(trukrwif) I can't answer all of you but I do want to say THANK YOU It stirs my heart to see so many friends and fellow truckers wishing me well, I am excited about the things that lie down the road for all of us, I will miss Ol'e 1832 she and I have had good times, I'm glad she can't talk because I would have to cut her tongue out, we have been places a VW should not have been but she always got me out of it, she kept me safe in -30 degree weather this winter up in Wyoming and Mt. She warned of bad conditions when I thought all was right, I will certainly miss the automatic transmission but I will be moving into a 13 speed and will be trained on it, I will be around if you have my number call me anytime with questions, I don't know it all but I don't think anyone does, in closing Be Safe and Take Care.

13 speed a piece of cake, TD....not much different than a 10 speed, just the high range of gears are split, I believe. I drove that KW 18 speed that sits in SFS now, and no one taught it to me, just did it myself, from the shop to the freeway right there. You will do great on it!
At the Spokane Terminal, partial unload in the am then on to Lakewood. Not sure what they plan on doing with me after that. Hometime is scheduled for the 1st and I have plans that can't/won't be changed for Sat/Sun. hmmm
