    The picture with the cones is from Monday Night-tonight

    Shall I Name it The Black Rat 2?

    I was lucky when I got in last Wednesday I had asked for a Freightliner but they did not have any in yet but they had this on back from the detail shop a trainer turned it in and I went and looked at it and said Ill keep it. All the newbies always get a older truck with a manual, lol

    Im special I guess
