    I joined up here a while ago but never posted yet, Getting my new truck today, we ordered it before Christmas and it's finally here, I took some pics yesterday after they finished putting the orange on, they just need to detail it and then I can pick it up, I have a run from Saskatoon, SK to Clarinda, IA (H&H Trailers) that I have been doing every week for about 5 years now, I just work for the trailer dealer, run down empty and bring back trailers, taking the boy with me tonight for the first trip in the new one, he's excited.

    Thanks for all the comments guys, most of the time this is overkill for hauling empty utility trailers but a lot of the time I haul steel flat decks or dump boxes stacked on top of each other and they can get heavy, here's my trailer, 09' 53ft load king with a typical load.

    My helper, I bet this guy has logged 100k miles with me over the last few years, he is going to hate it when school starts in the fall, so will I really, having him along makes it feel like I'm not even working.
