    HP, are you saying that if you both have to go out together for another long trip, one may not make it back?

    To me it read that they've teamed and banked long enough to get their separate goals back online.
    If that's correct, way to go! I'm proud and happy for you guys!

    That is what I read in it... plus, perhaps, a frustration that comes from running team on freight that schedules adequately for solo - when they have available another truck, etc...

    I hope that's the case. Another post he made inferred they were getting on each others nerves pretty bad at times. But, that happens with almost all teams.

    That happens with me and the wife sometimes. ....and I'm on the road and she's at home! Can't imagine what it would be like teaming. Not something I'd be interested in doing.

    Hi all. I have FINALLY READ THRU ALL 71 PAGES OF THIS THREAD AAANNNDDD...80 pages of the 1st INFAMOUS THREAD! WHEW!!! Highwayman and Pharm, YOU GUYS ARE MY HEROES!!! That's a pretty Volvo u got there man. And Pharm's 387 is nice too. Had me looking at those while I was at some truck lots last week. I'm looking to get my 1st truck next year...if I can. But lmk how that volvo holds up, I hear some things about them and i'm iffy about getting one myself. As for the Pete, I'm liking it.

    Now It's ironic you guys teamed up and went to go visit some friend in MO. I was a driver with CRST and I went with my trainer to party with some of his friends...at HOOTER'S in E. St. Louis! Got stuck in Denver bobtailing in some snow at THE TA ENTRANCE(in LATE APRIL!!) And we did a lot of I-40 running! Wow. Don't know how it is now (that was 6 yrs ago) but WE ALWAYS stopped at the Wal-mart Supercenter and that casino truck stop near Gallup, NM.

    #### that was good times. I loved it, and he was cool, but I had to go with a trainer for another week before I was done training (1st guy had home time), and I had 2 co-drivers - 1 which I didn't get along with. One was one of the nicest men I ever met. And that was all in 6 mos!! I'll say I'm good with the team thing now but it was helpful, I must say.

    Y'all keep up them truck payments and expenses down (as much as u can) and I'm rootin 4 u both!!

    Although we've not given up on Pharm, I think he's given up on us. I've sent a few PM's to the guy with no reply at all. That's pretty unfortunate.
    Highwayman's been posting every now and then, and that's great. Nothing but best wishes for the both of them.
     
    dino6960 Thanks this.
