xjay73: [...] After that, I will pick up a load of sporting goods to take up to the Pittsburgh area. =)
jackster79: Coming out my way, I see. :-)

As far as my earlier question: I ended up picking Long Live the Queen as the first game to download from the sale. After playing it 3 times, I've decided this is vaguely reminiscent of how I felt playing Oregon Trail way back on the Commodore PET back in the late 70s/early 80s: Play for a while, get killed. Start over, play for a while, get killed. Play again, get killed.
Me likey. lol
jackster79: That is a good comparison, though I never thought of it due to the stats element in LLTQ. But indeed, that is a nifty game with a good bit of gaming goodness if you want to see everything.
I'm in the Pittsburgh area a good bit actually. There's one customer a little down river from the city where I get some of my best paying loads, so I try to get back there as much as I can. :D
The only thing missing in the comparison is the cassette tape drive. *grin*
xjay73: Yes, I am an owner-operator and the truck is mine and paid for even. I have a 2006 International 9400i currently, though around the beginning of July, I will be picking up my new truck (yay!): a 2014 Kenworth T660. I'm just waiting it to be built. :-)
Stilton: Those are good looking trucks. Is the Kenworth a sort of made-to-measure build, hence the wait?
Well, pretty much any brand can be custom ordered. The reason mine is taking so long is that I'm getting what's called a glider kit. Basically, it's the shell of the truck (frame, chassis, axles) without the engine and transmission. These last two elements are what I'm having custom built. The place that's doing it for me has to wait for the glider to come in first (a couple more weeks at the most), then it takes about 4 weeks for the rest to be built and installed.
I'll put a pic of it up once I get it... quite excited about it, even though it will put me up to my eyeballs in debt. lol
