Thanks!  The entire truck came around because of those quarter-disk
bricks.  I only have two, from a Freestyle bucket, and I was wondering
what to do with them.  I ended up building the sleeper portion of the
truck and then decided to build it at the the scale of the two trucks
I've designed in LDraw but never built.  I needed to use a piece to
attach the quarter circle better, so that's where the yellow arrow design
came from.  I continued the design in the trailer.  The real life arrows
on the side of the truck aren't as smooth as the LDrawn ones because I
have almost no yellow 1 x 1 plates. :(
The last thing I changed was the fifth wheel - it was inspired by the one
on the 5571 Giant Truck.
