    Im glad you mentioned write offs. I've been saving receipts for everything I've been getting just like you I've been off the road for quite a while.

    Alright guys i know you all have been doing this for a while but im going to try to use some of my free time to put together a tax cheat sheet. I plan to do my taxes myself and I figure since there isn't exactly a list that makes things easy i should squeeze in the time put that together for all of us. Any tips you all have post here or Pm I'd really appreciate it.

    Today I came to the realization that I absolutely hate driving a car more than an hour or two. It’s like if I get tired I can’t stop and pull over to take a nap I have make that driver seat work and the that silly wheel is in the way ….ugh what a miserable experience. So Baltimore to Green Bay on paper the plan was great Sleep all day Saturday and roll through the night one problem my sleep pattern was so jacked up my body couldn’t figure out if it should shut down or not. No sh!tt!n I laid in bed nearly 10 hours and slept possibly 2 of em.

    So 10 o clock rolls around i am groggy as hell thinking about this 14 hour drive I gotta make, Ms. Alicia however Slept like a baby from noon til 10 o’clock so I fully planned on making her drive since I was drained. I got on the road and my inner trucker kicked I ran 415 miles before I ran out of steam. Here’s where it gets funny I hand over the wheel to Ms. Alicia poor baby she aint no trucker she “was” wide awake up til we traded seats , after a hour of the Indiana toll road that highway fatigue set in , she was done I wake up and she is doing 95 mph with the window down dancing and her face is two feet from the windshield and the Ac is blowing I laugh in my head and decide I’d better wake up and keep her awake or we might end up in the ditch.

    After a hour I figure I’d take back over and finish the last five hours but first an attempt at a nap for a few short minutes I hated every truck driver around because I so desperately wish I had a sleeper and could take a nap in the back. This little Jetta was like sleeping on a plastic lawn chair I struggled to nap and said to hell with it super trucker mode. I tossed -out trying to maintain fuel economy and my professionalism im blasting through Chicago at all of 85-90 in and out of traffic and it was that speed all the way to green bay and got ###### doing 85-90 was even more exhausting then the 72i had been doing. Anyway let me stop ranting I hate cars I only want to drive the truck if the drive is more than 3 hours or maybe an RV. Anyway happy trucking guys see you all out there on Thursday or Friday

    I couldn't open it either..Yeah I can drive a big truck 700 miles and not bother me too much, but put me in a 4 wheeler and after 2 or 3 hours I'm wiped out..Go figure.

    Alright Guys i have an issue I'd like to resolve quickly apparently KEnworth made the factory inverter optional on the 2015 i was under the assumption i'd have easy hook ups for my microwave, TV and laptop (and an xbox later) So i get to my truck today and i have all 12v outlets i let out a sigh and said "i cant believe this S#!%"

    So i need you guys input on inverters because I honestly dont know jack squat about them except you need it hard wired to the battery for more than like 400w. What do you all recommend for the equipment i want in truck? Any particular brands? What would you guess they cost to install? Im gonna call kenworth at home and see what they would charge to install the factory inverter if its less than 500-600 i may do that.
