    Another used truck is a new set of headaches, be patient, get to a company that pays %%, try for a company that lets you self dispatch....use the truck you have (and know well). Used trucks are guaranteed money pits the first year....you have to fix and update someone else's abused truck.

    One big exception, if you know the previous owner.....

    I completely understand how you feel. I've got a sinus cold myself and it is no fun. Boss actually gave me the day off yesterday to try to sleep it off.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Luckily for me, I parked in Michigan at a small truck stop that my retired Dad lives close to. He just delivered hot soup, saltines, water, unsweetened iced tea and a small Vernors. (It’s a Michigan thing. Anytime we are sick we turn to the local Ginger Ale)

    Someone ordered Texas heat for this upcoming weekend Wicked! Not sure if you’ll be around or not! Hot Toddies always worked for me! Nothing worse than a flu like conditions in the Summer! Get well soon Brother.

    Yes sir, thank you. The day off with PowerAide, Saltine crackers, and Alka Selzter Cold and Flu did a pretty good job for me.

    I hope you can overcome it pretty quickly yourself.
     
    Wickedfire77 Thanks this.

    Hope both of you get better soon. It has been a while since I was sick in the summer but I know how it feels. It just plain sucks.

    Now back when I used to drink I would get the bottleneck flu occasionally but that is a different story.

    I slept well last night. My fever broke. I can breathe again and my throat has recovered enough to eat normal food. Of course it’s raining now and hitting 93 for a high today, but I think I’m treating myself to Incredibles 2 matinee today.
    Take care all
     
    popcorn169, 88 Alpha and RERM Thank this.
