    You would be mistaken. First page I look at is my subscribed threads. If there's a new post on this one I read it. Good stuff! I just don't always reply or hit the thanks button as often as others.

    I'm pushing 40 Tons of truck down a road. Sea Captain is pushing more. What we have in common is we are Both Leaders. Takes a Special person to do Both. Ship Captains have less Idiots to deal with!

    He is L. Kansas. Got to take care of the truck till he pays for it. Can't shut my advice off. But He needs to learn. I got a kind heart, always have. I like it. I like this Forum also. My circle is old time truckers. I forget there are new ones. I know about most of the laws. So many members, some Driver has the Answer. Your the Boss, How it is.

    I will either get the load, or wait for another one. My Idea of "cheap" makes my Bills. Never needed a whole lot of Money. I made some though. Had Trucks built most drivers would be happy to drive. It's the love inside you that makes you a Trucker. Not the Truck. The Truck is a vehicle, Your Spirit is the force. 98 % never get to see America. We get paid for it. When you say Your job sulks. Do 10 hours in a burger place.

    My Virtual Titty has dried up . Them Pucnks in overalls will find something wrong with your truck. Told you. don't cross the border. 11 PM they go home. A 2300.00 fine for running the wrong fuel & the truck don't meet specs. Specks is a no brainer, the fuel thing I can't do nothing about. I am an old man that hopes his study does well.
     
    truckon and Hammer166 Thank this.

    Ah I got about 95 gallons in My Kw. Plates are good, might just use it to go to the store. I'm having too much fun watching the kid. Suv drivers don't like me all that much. KW is bigger, I have the right away on city streets. Get about 12 mpg. About the same as a Escalade. I have a sleeper. My rims sit still when I stop. They look good though. I like looking over a hood. It's a truck.
