Student. I go to class and complete assignments to be turned in. Studying business administration. Fun stuff. When I make money instead of spend it, I work in my school's dining hall, washing dishes and taking care of the salad bar (stocking it, cutting fruit, etc.). Someday I hope to graduate and make more money than I spend...theoretically (what with the rising cost of model railroading equipment and all...)

AHH sounds great to me. Dat thing has a manual right? Didn't think Kennworth went below the T-600 or T-2000.
yea its manual, yup T-300, no sleeper, no fancy gizmos, no CB, (i bring my own), not bad for a straight truck, we had a T-300 for our semi, but when we went against the wind with an empty load you wouldent do more than 50 down hill, so we up graded to a T-800 for the semi, its like a warm knife cutting butter. Michigan Kenworth and PAC lease has been good to us tho when we get break downs. Really nice guys over there.Imagepics of the trucks
