I was outside yesterday afternoon cooking on the grill. It was cooler than most of the rest of the summer has been thus far.

Well anything with air brakes, lots of trucks out there with electric over hydraulic brakes.

Yes you can, You can take the test in a dually with a horse trailer. The inspectors don't like it because it forces them to change the course to make it smaller and that would require them to think and use math.

i made some calls, waiting for some calls, the big one is the KR 6.0. its not at all what i was looking for but the price and miles are way to right, and its a FL truck so the rust is non existent (says the owner....)

jim we are at a days inn, i think in some town called new windsor or something like that.
