    Good man

    In your short time of the trucking life , Learning a lifetime of poor Hygiene would be a terrible thing to waste.

    Don,t for get to stop brushing your teeth on Friday night , and dig that old worn out and stained wife beater out of the bottom of the laundry hamper to get the full affect.

    I bet by Friday you can't wait to unwind with some dirty scratchy nether regions for the weekend.

    You guys are too funny.

    I thought I had struck my gold mine - them " need a 53' flat from not too far , light loads " . . .

    I smooched big time. Got the crowbar out. Went to work. Got in the door.

    Now I find it's an average rate - they had to cut it to retain it. Daaaaaaaammmmmmmit! Not quite the gold mine it was a year ago.

    It runs about my current average, but I'm gonna try it out - saves this load board crack addict behavior.

    Loads and unloads on site, either a 3 day work week for $2200 TTT, or 4-5 day for $3500. Light and predictable - not sure whether to laugh or cry.

    And to find out my V twin has a tapered shaft - it's down at the machine shop awaiting brilliance to turn a pulley from a straight shaft. Sigh. Just when you think you have things covered.

    Put the truck in the garage, start it up and , and spend the night. Be careful though

    If you feel a Litttle too ClearHeaded, jump out of the truck and walk outside and get some Fresh Air.

    He has a Cummins not a Detroit .

    A lot has changed since you have been out of the business.

    So a V twin converted Detroit into a Cummings that runs an AC through a hole in the back of the cab?
