Luvtheroad's New Used 1994 Peterbilt 377

Unless you know something about my personal bills that I don't know, I am relatively debt free... No money, but debt free LMAO. So, any extra money that I might come up with goes to the truck.

PS if you're refering to my comment about not paying electric, etc. please believe me it was meant in jest.

 

Thanks for the welcome back Wayne and I look forward to meeting you then if not before. We oughta get a forum group together, what a good time that would be!

 

When I get the thing DOT compliant I would like to run local and/or regional. I am knowledgeable enough to know the trucks too old and I haven't enough verifable driving experience for anyone to take us on. I will probably get my own authority and call on shippers that I used to talk to in my past life to see what I can get from them. I've also got a couple of people who will help me if I can compete on rates. Ahhhhh, rates... that magic word.

Keep us posted about your truck and send pics. It's all interesting and good information for us who have the "fixer-upers" and "work in progress" trucks.

 

well at last you'll be moving right along when you get it. you could be like me and be plated to bobtail all over the state. lmao

 

OK here's the scoop. No one needs to be a brain surgeon to realize things have come to a grinding halt here. My Dodge, which I need to pull my trailer around to horse shows, has taken a dive. First it was some gasket that just plain wore out and got loose which allowed oil to leak out everywhere. That was major surgery since the injector pump, computer and a few other things had to come out. $500+
The guy was bringing it over to the house and the turbo blew. $1500 give or take...
So things aren't moving quite as quickly as I'd like for them to. I am driving the Pete and it's running pretty well (knock on wood)

Just got back from the Big Iron Classic truck show in Kasson Mn. 809 miles from here. It was worth every mile I drove to get there. There were over 600 working trucks there. Every make, model and description was there. Saturday night was the truck pull and light show. Alex from Ice Road Truckers was there and as usuall he was very chatty and fun. Chrome Shop Mafia and Big Rig Chrome Shop to name a few. This show is 210% different from the show at Louisville. Down to earth at a little fair grounds. Great fun!!!
