They say Old Trucker never die they just get a new Peter Built ;)

Lol! That's right!
Dog-my '06 flat top came from KC Pete.  She was a nice ride,  but it had the 475 accert in it.
Ryan-I run border to border and coast to coast, but we don't cross em anymore.
Del- that is funny!  I bet she was a might confused for a moment
Eddie-You're right peterbago just don't have a good ring to it.  I haven't named her yet.  I bounced a couple prospective names off the Mrs. Such as "Peter Palace", "Kansas Cat House" and a few others. For some reason she didn't seem to like any of em.   >:D
Bob- you retired at a good time.  It's not just the equipment being regulated to death.
Pappy- I do know what you mean.  I put this girl through the paces yesterday and most of last night. Aside from having to familiarize myself with that super 10 and finding the motors sweet spot it was a fine ride.  It does need the governor"adjusted".  Can't have a large car governed at 65.  I think the mechanics were having a little sport with me.
Josh- you're dad's a driver and you managed to avoid following in his foot steps?  That gives me hope for my boy.  My family has been in the transportation industry since the 1860's.  You might say we were truckers before anyone invented a truck.  I hope my son aims a little higher with whatever occupational field he enters.
Thanks for all the nice comments fellas.  When I get her all dolled up and polished, I'll post a couple pics.  If anyone can think up a good name, I'll sure consider it.  Josh

Now that's a classic Pete name right there!

I was thinking about "Bandit"!?

Thanks Eddie, that is now on the list for potential names.  I was right about the mechanics messing with me.  The ornery scudders changed the pulse parameters on my Speedo so that it was 5 mph off.  They were all snickering when I walked in this morning.  They changed it back to where it was supposed to be so its all good now.  My dad made a contribution to the new ride.  These are fancy parking brake knobs that he got me when he found out my truck number was "44".  Josh

Probably not politically correct but maybe The Wandering Redskin could put some feathers and such on her. Love the brake knobs

Little Red Wagon? That way you could say you gotta haul a load in your Little Red Wagon, and when it needs work you can tell the shop boys to fix your Little Red Wagon....

Some pretty cool suggestions!  I appreciate em all.  This ol girl is  classy enough, that I wanted to give her a feminine name.  When I requested that the unit number be "44" the boss agreed to it.  He wouldn't agree to putting magnum behind the 44.  After installing the new brake knobs, I kept glancing at the head stamp on the cartridges that read 44 mag.  It finally clicked in my thick head.  Feminine form of magnum...Maggie.   Once it popped in my head, it just felt right.  So Maggie it is. Thanks again for the suggestions!  Josh

Glad you approve fellas!
DC- I had to chuckle when I read your suggestion.   I had a great great uncle that had a very strong old country accent.  I remember him talking to my dad about my dad's brand new '84 peterbilt.  When dad mentioned that it had a Cat under the hood, my uncle smiled and said,"dyah! Mine bulldotser has da caterpeter eenjun!  Goot eenjun!"  Sounded something like that anyway.  I really had to concentrate on what he was saying to understand him.  Good memories!  Thanks for that.  Josh
