    True. Some guys edit out the truck number. I dont do it with my pics... if they wanna get rid of me for posting pics of the truck then they wasnt worth working for to begin with

    Congratulations!

    And I’ve literally got my fingers crossed for ya.

    Stay smart. Take your time. When you’re in a jam, pull over, think it out. Don’t muscle your way through it, or you’ll endup muscling your way knee deep in it. Go slow. When you feel confident, check yourself.

    You’ll be fine.

    Have you found the half eaten burrito yet?

    It's hiding in there somewhere...

    So I just woke up to try truck turned off, darn. Might be a silly question, but am I good when it turns off on its own and don’t have to turn to key so it won’t kill the battery? Reason why I ask is I think the AC or something runs every so slightly when it’s off and I don’t wanna mess anything up, but I can’t confirm this yet

    P.S. Yeah it runs the AC full blast when the truck shuts off

    Thank you and I’ll be sure to be safe; load securement is my only real concern though, not to come off arrogant or over confident, just the one area I need to improve the most

    No dice on the rubber mats and when I asked the service monkey for some he looked at me like I was asking him for his last cold beer; sat there explaining to the guy the process of making a cradle and he said, “Ohh, you mean like flatbed.” I was thinking, “Yeahhh, you know, that flatbed sheeeet” lmfao all I gotta do now is call logs when they open

    Oh yeah he also told me he’d top off my oil, but I’m honestly too afraid to move, might go over 5 mph and mess up everything lmao think I’m gonna sit right here and have another beer in what might as well be Mexico

    How do you guys like to store your tarps on your bobtail? I don’t have any, so just in case I’m gonna try to pick 2 up so that I don’t look like an idiot, but I never had to put them on the bobtail before
