    Good luck RAG. With the positive attitude you have, work should be no problem for you. Do you plan on going OTR??

    I love love love those 379's with the N-14's and ISX's in them. Had an 06 pulling a 3+3+3. Loved Peterbilts. You have a nice looking truck Mr. Kinghunter. Just wanted to say hi. Have a super duper day.

    Not my truck but a guy that hauls for the carrier Southern Pride. I will have a good day and thank you for the compliment.

    I have been considering doing 48 states I wanted to see the rest of this great country for a long time I'v been in 11 west for 3 yrs and got home every week or 2 at most and my family likes that but the "call of the wild" still howles to do it....my favorite book in school Ha, but its exactly what I feel like doing...I was born to do this...I need to convince my Love to let me do it at least for 1 yr harder to do than to say she is very opposed to the idea but I will continue to work on it. I want to thank you guys and I already received 4 job offers and feel humbled and honored by the way you guys have treated me who ever says there isn't a truckers' code of honor anymore is dead wrong and this proves it. I'm the type of person that doesn't leave people hanging right now this silage hauling is on fire and yes its hard the trucks are old and no ac on mine and its still over 95 degrees out here but Im not a "kitty" cat and I dont like to bite the hand that feeds me. The financial collapse of Sward left all drivers in the hole 2 weeks of pay so I was lucky to have picked this up the same day. My friends and those who have supported me I thank you.

    Good luck man. I'm really sorry to see Sward go away. I remember them from back in the early 70's when it was all 2 axle cabovers pulling flats. Those were some of the coolest trucks around with paint, polish and awesome teak headboards.

    The Gardner/Dirksen empire has never impressed me all that much.

    This is sort of how a truly unregulated free market works. It's a race to the top for the owners and a race to the bottom for the employees.
