    AND.... <<< which is which? ;) I still have MY man card... and my PeterCar. In tact. :)

    I realize Dustin being new to this gig may actually have to; especially with decks....and I did it myself, many moons ago, hauling boxes. Pulling tanks, no thanks. I'm good to stay put.

    Hauling fuel we have no choice. You either chain or a station doesn’t get their fuel and you don’t have a job

    True. Didn't realize that's what you pull. Asphalt freezes as much as the roads i'm on, so I stay put anymore.

    Much respect, man. One thing I'd rather not pull. You have a tractor/tank double setup?

    Im at iowa 80 now, looking at chains, not that I care how much they cost they're going to pay for them but nonetheless still a pain in my ###. And wouldn't you know it I'm in the parking lot not even 10 minutes and I get a direct deposit into my account. This is the absolute worst place to be when you get paid
     
    G13Tomcat Thanks this.

    At least you GOT PAID~~!!!!!! ;) There's plenty to do at the I80, man. At least there USED to be. That place is a riot. Just people watching was fun, hahaha!

    Hell no, dispatch sent me a text said good job hers a little $$ ......i text back no no no take it all back right ####ing now.

    I remember a couple years ago i had some free time so i stopped into the summit racing store, i was broke so no prpblem there, and sure enough after being there 20 mins or so i got paid. I transferred all but $100 to my woman and figured i was good, still walked out with a god #### $30 ball cap.
     
    G13Tomcat Thanks this.

    Nice rig, man. Had I started pulling tanks in my 20's or 30's, perhaps. I know a guy named Daniel, as little as my wife, pulls similar up in Cali. Scary stuff. A co worker of his (a ten year vet) rolled off the exit on 99 in Atwater earlier this year, and that was all she wrote. Hats totally off to you. Totally.
