    Yea, what skateboardman said.
    I doubt you set as long a me. You normally run harder because you have more capacity than me. I can't haul most of the copper loads out of there and few others because of my lower payload. Even part of the ATV loads out of there have to have 2'+ front overhang and my setup has only 2" of front overhang. That's when my bigger sleeper can really bite me.

    That fairless hills load a coil?

    Heck that wouldn't be too bad to get you over to pittsburgh if you could grab a better load out of pittsburgh, I run over to fairless hills sometimes and you could if you timed it right, you could pick up and deliver same day.

    I decided on how to make the best of sitting in Phoenix if I do. Im gonna show my truck the town and a day of beauty.
    First going to show her where I bought her brother from another mother at Inland Kenworth. I will buy her an air filter there since I get a good discount.
    2 nd I will take her to DLD truck straps and buy her a beautiful set of Chrome half fenders. Show her where I customized her headache rack.
    3rd I will take for a day of beauty at Danny's for a Tractor and Trailer wash . Polish her rims and her emm emm box.

    End the night at the victory inn where they have awesome truck parking with security. I will take advantage of their shuttle and go to the bar and play darts.

    Lol

    I haul super sacks over to the inland port there at the old US steel and reload super sacks inside the same facility from a different company and I turn out and back in a single day the couple times I've done it, to north of Pittsburgh, so loading and unloading the same day can be done...

    I hope all of you guys are enjoying your new year so far.
