Ok I don't know if BarnSwaggled is a word... LOL
But I have to keep this Rated "G"
Things have been tough to say the least.
I bought the truck and trailer early this year, and "went for it!"
My timing was poor tho. (Fuel, economy, etc..)

Finally starting to gain ground!

Had a really good check for This Last week!
Man did I need it too!
Hopefully, I can keep her on the road without incident for a while and recoup my losses.
Fortunately, I don't get paid by the mile, I get percentage of the loads.
Because if I had to drive the distances some of you guys drive, I am sure it would COST ME MONEY!! LOL
(because of all the repairs I have been having to make lately)
{for those in Rio Linda}

I have had a "rash" of mis-fortune this month.

By the Grace of GOD, it was right by Brown's Tire in Sealy, Tx.
I was loaded with Drill-pipe heading to a Pipe yard in Houston.

Two - On my way to a pipe yard in Magnolia, Tx, Noticed a Bubble on the sidewall of a trailer tire. Stopped in Sealy, tx and replaced that.

Three - 2 more tires...
