Not sure what ever happened to CY????? It's funny that i never knew he worked out of right here in my hometown for Red Thompson. I did a lot of hauling for them on the side, and i bet I ran into CY a few times

No, I'm still running around in my 07.... Got to have another EGR put in it right before Christmas.... Couldn't believe it....Uhl International in Louisville got me in and out on the same day!! Last time I looked our terminal (008 GC, GA) only had one of them.... I drove it bt down to the dealer for some service...nice ride, but I dread the day I have to move into one...dragging stuff from one truck to the other. Or are they s'posed to do that for us?? :lol:

You are probably pretty high up on the list for a new one. I read in one of the newsletters that they were getting rid of the 2007's before some of the older trucks because of engine problems. I am in a 2005 with 570K on it.

Don't complain... when my 07' went in the shop very early in the game, I used an older freightshaker with 750K on it.... and frankly when my truck came out of the shop I wanted to stay in the old boat anchor...but they made me go back in the new one. When it runs it good, it does good, but when it runs bad, it really runs bad.

I heard, and cannot verify, but it would seem that the new trucks first came out with an "exhaust brake" instead of "jake brakes".... Exhaust brakes are virtually useless....do about as much good as dragging your foot on the ground... anyway, I heard that they told "Cornbinder" not deliver anymore until they had real "jakes" in them. Truth or Rumor? Dunno, time will tell....

Doubt it. They are a local cult group in Winston Salem. Used to run a buffet restaurant with nothing but volunteers. Incredible food and ridiculous customer service. I sat through those seminars as staff trainings when I worked for the YMCA. Doubt they advertise.

No he is getting around more than my Ex SIL during Fleet Week. Lets just say when she left the US Navy alot of men were disappointed since they knew the easiest lay in the Atlantic Fleet just walked out of the door. Have a buddy that was on her ship and there was a time when a Fast Attack tied up for something alongside their ship in 1991. Well by the time the Sub was repaired my EX-SIL had gone thru all teh enlisted personal on the Sub at least one time.
