    Everyone tells me I'm almost at 4 years driving, I should specialize and get into oversize.

    No thanks, I'll keep my tank and this gravy run I've got here. 5 days a week of work, and just enough money/miles to keep me at the top end of the lower tax bracket (any extra work the government just takes). Also got me spending way less on cash advances (before I was taking $100 US and spending it almost every week).

    I just need something more comfortable to drive, this lack of suspension fixing and overall maintenance (it's "an old truck that's not really worth it" according to the shop manager) is really doing a number on my back. Even with the good seat.

    A tandem drive with a pusher and triaxle pneumatic would be great for this run. 70,000 lbs of product each trip easy.

    A guy I run with some has a sorta electric blue looking 379 that Pete labels as a purple. It's a looker fa shore. Keep in mind I'm missin some #### in my eyes for seeing color. I'm not color blind but the exotic colors run together

    I didn't know I bought a purple truck until people started calling it that, but then again I can't see very many numbers on those color tests either.

    IMG_20181003_152231620.jpg I don't know what color you call mine some say gold and purpleish some say pewter and burgundy. I don't know what Peterbilt or Cottrell call it but I like it and it's different.
