Every time I see your pics it makes me want to go join Swifts falt bed division question does the smaller space in the Columbia sleeper make a difference than the regular big sleeper coulmbias.

i don't really notice much of a difference, the big thing is the lack of space for a cooler, that can be solved by unbolting a shelf from the floor and putting a cooler in its spot

Thanks for doing this schmud, what kind of runs did you do with your mentor? A lot of the same places? Also how did you deal getting all your required backs in?

This time Next Saturday I will be on My way to Swift in Phoenix. The job I got on Wednesday was a waste of My time... They had Me sitting for 2 days and kept telling me They are looking for work... Only did one day...
