    I tell you what, boy they just give anybody a truck these days! Even a 27 year old city kid who has never dispatched or run a truck in his life. Just hand over the keys to a ONE HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR TRUCK. Simply because I have an exemplary safety record, a very good work history, and good enough credit. They must be crazy i tell ya!


    Welp, who am I to turn them down? I'd be a fool, right? I mean driving around in a big ole truck is the dream right?


    Alright what's going on guys? I figured I'd throw my story into this interactive pot of trucking greatness.
    A little About me: trucking for 4 years; 3.5 local and 6 mos with J.B. of Hunt. Miserable experience but a great company though, I simply wasnt matture enough for the road back then. I thought I'd be able to travel and make big bucjks; I spent 6 months shuttling rail cans up and down 81 from Harrisburg to Stuarts Draft and points in between very boring and 81 smells but tmy trucks was nice if you like midroofs.
    When I left that job I said I'll be back on the road one day with my own truck. I never knew how serious me talking shat to myself really was.


    Anyway, I report to Wisconsin to pick up my truck next week. I'm thinking of a name for her. What do you guys think? Its a red Kenworth T680. Maybe Kat, Red Baron, Thriller or something, I don't know.I'm ready to start this adventure. I've never been so excited in my life for anything. I don't know completely what to expect but I do know one thing "You ain't gonna believe this $#!%"

    P.S. JUst kidding DFO MUch respect to you and the others ill give shout outs to later on :biggrin_25514::biggrin_25514:

    DFO has a monopoly on I-81, so you better show some respect on his highway.

    Name it POS as that is what it will be in 100,000 miles. My bro jsut got a new Volvo with a 12 spd auto and he says it's so cheap you can see through the sleeper curtain. Trucks are really getting crappy, engines worse and now by Jan 1 you will be running a speed limiter. Can see you out west in a 75 MPH or 80 speed limit doing 62. Our govt at work.
