Profile For Ken M. (TailGunner)

I am so glad to see that you don't chain around the stake pockets. That is what the spools are made for. I see a lot of drivers that use the pockets, and end up ripping them out. Highly dangerous.

I have legs that reach all the way to the ground, but I still keep the seat at it's highest adjustment in the Frightliner. I like the visibility it gives me. I think it might be a bit of a safety advantage, too.

This is a common rookie mistake and misconception. Most experienced drivers keep their seat down low. Having it up high really cuts off the circulation to your legs. A lot of drivers start seeing their ankles swelling from keeping the seat too high. You want to easily be able to slip your hands under your legs with your feet flat on the floor.

Not to mention blood clots.

I would see if they have some empty pallets you could use and put them strategically on top of the buckets and strap them down. Also the brick boards on the sides will help, and tarping over the top of the buckets and tightening straps down on the tarps to try and hold them all together.

I usually pay to be abused, and you are complaining about getting paid and abused at the same time? Where do I sign up?

I got used to it after a while. You need to find a type of mask that will work for you. I went through 5 before I found one I could use reliably.

Tarp it, and put straps outside of the tarps also, it will hold it all together.

If you go too long, you might be required to take a refresher course.

Jamie-

As a person who has done the sleep study, it's not the most pleasant evening or night but it's tolerable. They will find out how many times you wake up during the night. And may have you change masks. The mask I have is a ResMed Air Fit P10 Nasal Air Pillows. In other words they are just for going in the nose not a full mask. Not that I could have a full mask with a beard. But once you get used to it (a couple of nights at most), it's tolerable.

i don't remember if Rainy still uses one or not. But she also had this cleaning machine which was pretty cool.

So maybe it will work for you?

That's the one I just bought about 4 months ago, it's the BEST JERRY, THE BEST!

What do you have it hooked to? The 12vdc accessory terminals on the bottom of the dashboard?

Oh wait, they don't have those anymore. But there is usually an accessory power connection block somewhere. Google it for your tractor. And check the fuse in the CB power cord.
