Just the same, thanks for all the advice guys. I guess I'll have to do a little bit looking around. because I'd like to work in this trade. but if I'm going to be able to do Regional Ill have to do in a BA car. cuz no truck and companies going to hire me sight unseen, without a refresher. you...

Personally I'm partial to Peterbilt, them 579's are nice. A little bit small on the inside, but there alright. Freightliner Cascadia are nice too. Peterbilt also makes another nice truck. I don't know the numbers on it. but its lot bigger on the inside, got like a fold out table in all that...
