Pics of my new ride

[95_cobra123]

If i can speed shift it will go a lot faster but you have to wait for 400rpms drop , there is way to do it with jake breake but i have to get use to it

Yea i drove for a few yrs don't miss it at all the people in this world think you are trash, and that is the name truckers have these days. also most of the company's treat there employees like trash. good luck with the one your with i have herd some good and bad about them in the past but looks like u r doing good. normally most driver for the first yr to 3 yrs wont brake 40k because it takes so long to get up above 34c'ts a mile. Once you hit that ur gravy. As for the speed shifting thats called floating gears take ur time in learning it. Come see me when u can do a High Revers back at 35mph lol. now that is fun. Good lucky to you my friend and don't let the peeps out there get to you Truckers are the movers of this country as i was told by a very wise person once.

you should post online where you are staying on whichever day and meet stangers across the country

I could

I was thinking about the Dyno thing.. That must be a Mustang Dyno so they can load it to diagnose it under power????

Also what kind of maintence do these things require.. Like how far between oil changes etc...

Oil , oil/fuel filter every 22k miles

Sweet rig. If I didn't get into the electronics field I had thought about getting a CDL. But now that I think back on it I don't think I could make it. Too much road rage.

I have worked on the electronics for that Tri Pac unit. The Company I work for also develops and manufactures some of the electronic controllers for the ThermoKing refers. Good stuff.

I have manual fror Tri Pac but didnt have time to look at how i can use "auto" for heat/ac

Ernan, Ernan, Ernan - why didn't you post you were staying in Springfield??? I could have picked you up to show you my ride. I live 10 minutes south of Springfield.

Man i forget that you live down there , I was stayin at Campus Inn (which is companys motel) its next to Ozark Hotel

Thanks man , this company wasnt bad for start , my friend forks at Dick Lavy and he doing 45c'ts a mile and he works there only a few years
I know there is always something better but this is good for beginning
Yeah its floating , see transmissions here are little bit different than in europe , i drove truck that have clutch to get going and than you move shifter up and down like Audi tiptronic and i dove another truck that you had to double shift , im good in driving so its easy for me figure out things

Ernan, think you'll be back this way to stop in to your home office? If so, give me a heads up. I'll get a few of my club members together and we'll all go out to eat or have a BBQ.

Thanks for the PM. I replied. Dangit, I'm half tempted to drive the car up to Springfield tonight. Problem I have is, I have the flu, or some sort of nasty cold I'm fighting. Combine that with working late tonight due to our catalog deadline. It's really not the best timing. Don't want you going back to PA telling everyone you met some POS from MO that gave you the flu.

How often do you come to Springfield?

 

[Slow5.0]

Its all good i sleept most of that day ,i was tired is hell
I stop by in Springfield every once in while , i will let you know
Thanks anyway

Definitely give me a bit more heads up. I'll see who I can round up.... as long as I'm not sick.

 

[Slow5.0]

I will let you know , i can't wait to see what you guys drive down there

BTW i was driving early this morning thru Springfield and Ozark on US-65 S , is that where you live ? I liked down there
