So last week my dad bought a 2003 Peterbilt Western Hauler. This week we're taking it for its first trip up into the depths of Canada. As I type this I am in Esteban, SK, CA which is about 7 hours from my house in Duluth, MN, USA. We're going all the way over to Banff in the rockies and then down to Idaho to visit an aunt. First is a picture of our rig and the others are of my rig (headphones). My amp and DAC are under the seat. If you're wondering why the big truck, my dad is a tractor collector and we have 2 to pick up. Tractors weigh 12,000 pounds each.

Listening conditions aren't the best in the big truck but Miles Davis sounds oh so sweet driving down the highway.

Thats pretty cool, but I'm left wondering what does your dad listen to?

 

[UncleDavid218]

Country mostly. He has no taste in music whatsoever (that's my opinion anyway)!

I envy you. My Uncle was a truck driver for many years. I jumped in his rig once and went cross-country with him. I slept so well in that rig. That wonderful diesel vibration knocked me out colder than an anesthetized baby. Also, he kept the sleeper at about 55 degrees.

You cannot see any country better than you can on the road. Good post.

Remember... NO LOT LIZARDS!

Nice portable rig.

Both the laptop -> SR-325i, and the truck

Thank you krmathis

We're having a lot of fun and are slowly making our way westward.

You should stop in Calgary on August 1st for our Alberta meet!

Enjoy the rockies man. Just got back from Jasper and it was great!

I'd love to but we need to be home by the 3rd and will actually be through Calgary on the 30th or 31st. I'd so go if it was a day earlier...
