    after 30t years spent on the Atlantic I knew teams wasnt what I wanted in my "twilight years"

    when you dont cook on the boat for 3 days because pots wont stay on the stove in 20 foot seas
    you get a lil tired makes a noisy TS look good


    but nothing compares to the glorius days with the sun coming up over a calm sea a school of whales playing 100 yards away
    just like the wonderful days trucking

    Hey Giggles.... someone else asked if the white truck is yours.... and said "it's so beautiful..." I guess you will "hear" this many times as long as you keep showing that picture... :biggrin_25519: It's indeed a GORGEOUS truck.

    I use to stay in a motel 5-6 days a week running LTL (in a daycab)

    The only nice thing about it was, I had so many reward points at various hotel chains, that when I went on vacation with the family, we never had to pay for a room.
