    The kind I could afford in the 20s, and thus thought was "good"

    a little bit of everything. I've learned that there is no honor between these people.
    But, seriously, my truck will have at least 10 different brands on it at any given time.......which is another way of saying, it's all pretty much the same stuff

    That is an interesting point. It's so F'd up now, stuff is paying more to go in than come out for the most part.

    If I didn't have a REALLY good load in, doubt I'd come in at all.

    Midwest and east is much better.
     
    Sirscrapntruckalot and Oxbow Thank this.
