i bought a 2008 granite with a bad mp7. taking that volvo stuff out and will be fitting a mecanical E7. way to go in my opinion.

And be breaking the law in the process as emissions have to meet year of truck unless titled as a glider. But only illegal if you get caught 😂

Used car lot? Momma needed a new mini van? Lol

We don’t have a separate lot up at the “palace”. 

They are only “short” drivers on first two days of week at our building but Hoffa is in bed with the company so teamsters get shit on.

they pick the trailers up at a yard just outside the fence at ups.  where the ups spotter puts the trailer so the "contractors" can haul them

Not at my building which is where he is coming from. Every Monday and Tuesday we have contractors going hub to hub and some are even doing pickup accounts. We keep filing grievances and they just keep paying. We even have some guys working their vacations. 

Thats the standard radio in the Pinnacles you need to get a manual and change setting in the radio. 

Marina was running railyards to our hubs during peak(UPS).

Air ride direct drive trans no emissions 

I like the flat spot on the bottom of steering wheel, no more rubbing on the belly! Lol

Any interior shots anywhere?

Maybe some headlights you can actually see with!

Can't kill those UPS CH's. Are the Visions all gone.

No we have several they brought here from California when they took all our first gen Pinnacles for emissions rules out there. We have several 2013 Pinnacles I drive a 2017 Pinnacle.

I certainly remember those trucks passed them numerous times a big guy with a big beard was always behind the wheel. He was never in a hurry always kept a slow steady pace you can always tell an old school guy who owned the truck he drove by the way they treated it. These guys who own their trucks nowdays beat on it like it was somebody elses a totally different mind set from the old school guys kind of sad really.

Roger had the beard. Went by the handle "whiskers"

I'd go with 2.79 gears with a 13 spd and drive in 11th for direct 12th up to 70 and 13th to get the hell out of dodge!

Never heard of him.

I'm paid by the load so I'm doing 60 in a 55 and 70 on the big road.  I'm pretty easy going but if you see a truck coming up on you in the left lane stay in the right unless your doing the speed limit.  

Don't worry I'm a conservative, always in the right!

I run flat ground with a 2011 cxu 613 and cant touch or smell over 5.4. New injectors and cups, with a automatic and 65mph. I dont understand. 

Your speed a large factor along with rolling resistance of tires and type of trailer. The difference between 55 and 65 mph is almost 1 mpg.
