    Perfect. The more trucks that stay south the better. Let's have a record breaking year where demand for trucks is trying to outstrip supply. Perhaps I will make enough to take more time off in summer...?:biggrin_2556:

    I plan on running the winter out west here across the top. Hope it drives the rates up the top. Done right, you can be chained and down the road in about 10-15 minutes for an entire truck.

    Before we purchased our truck, JJ worked for Motor West, running 7 western SO no stranger to throwing on the Jewellery!


    Since getting our own truck I have decided to stay as far away from the White stuff as possible :yes2557: Unless its paying good!

    Having the right clothes, gloves and a good light make it a lot easier.
