Tomorrow the wifey and Are STRAIGHT TRUCK SHOPPING! I am so bored not being on the road so we've decided to fix that! No more Van's for me I want a toilet and a shower!
It's not that easy . It takes time . You don't just sit down and pick out a straight truck . It took me about a year of constantly looking and researching before the right one came along .Toilet and shower ? Good Luck.

Hope it works for you folks. Kinda sounds like you wanna go new and that will speed up the shopping time, just be ready for sticker shock.
And unless you are finding your own freight, before ya sign purchase, I would consider carrier shopping for a carrier that can actually support teams. I would put nearly as much effort into carrier shopping as the truck shopping.
Best of luck and have fun.

Called Thermo-King Rapid City...they also service Espars....mine has been screwy the last month or so shutting down, NOT shutting down and sweating me out....and it is time for yearly check up that I usually do in Fargo....but that requires spending the night in Fargo till they open in the morning....if it craps out I might get a week bit chilly....so a hike to Rapid next week appears to be in my future...

P.S...I know this, as I leave it running on low when I am at home to prevent battery bank from freezing

Lake County I-90 near the 205 mm, got the pic from the Sheriffs Facebook, so glad I turned down Syracuse

Is that OH or NY? Because if that is NY, I went through there yesterday at around 0700 and everything was fine.
