    No. We own 3 trucks and all of them are full. One of our drivers is in his 60's and talks about retiring. I think it is all talk.

    Bill to Eclipse: $4,346.19

    Less Fuel: $1,623.60

    Will Receive: $2,722.59

    Less Truck/Trailer/Ins: $927.67

    Net 1: $1,794.92

    Not terrible, but a disturbing downward trend at 4,509.3 total miles, or $0.96 per mile all in, down from $1.15/mile last time.

    This week I almost made it to the very end without a wreck or breakdown. Unfortunately a BOULDER jumped up under my trailer at a shipper and ping-ponged into everything of value under the tandem... ripped out air hoses, snapped off slack adjuster, bent two chambers and ripped the housing off one of them.

    Very lucky under the circumstances: $310.00 for the repairs since I limped to the shop myself at an idle.

    This 10 day period I was home for 3 to 4 days as well.
     
    Fratsit, Baack and HwyPilot Thank this.

    Here are some pics and vids from meeting Wayne on the road. It was such an exciting honor to meet up with him. There is not enough I can say about this man. He has been there for me through every adventure, gotten me through so many challenges, given me pep talks to keep my spirits up and has checked up on me EVERY day since I've been out on the road. He is the best friend a guy could ask for.. thanks Wayne!

    If the Peterbilt is a rocking, don't come a knocking. Great videos PP. Glad to hear things are still going relatively well. Great week + Bad week + Fairly desent week. Keep the good a head of the bad, with this ecomony and hope to come out some were in the middle. IMHO, Is doing pretty #### good these days. All in all, I think your doing a great job. School of hard knocks, you can never beat the experience. No amount of trainging or school could substitiute for it. Thanks for all the post.
     
    PharmPhail Thanks this.
