    Honestly, like I said yesterday about valuing the opinions of you all on here, I do and that is why you all convinced me to say screw it and not buy it. I would rather spend a ton less on a truck that would be paid for in cash or on a small note for maybe 6 months then to do this whole thing pulling a box behind me. Thank you ALL for cracking me in the back of my head and knocking some sense into me! Pulling a reefer, WTF was I thinkin? Then I couldn't hang out with all the kewl kids in here! LOL

    At the current rate I am putting money away, if my company keeps its doors open till the end of this year, I should be able to go buy a nice truck in 100 dollar bills!

    I think we're still looking for a local driver, you wanna pick up crap in a reefer around Chicagoburg? Promise me you wont hit and bridges and I'll put in a good word for you.

    LOL Not hitting a bridge is easy around here. You just have to know where to go and how tall you are. I would say a few times a week I come up to a street to make a turn on and I look before I turn and BAM a 11'9" bridge! I am 12'2" but have never gone under anything shorter then 12'4". I don't want to chance ripping my concrete drum open!

    His boy and "Mama" are doing okay? I'm not going to feel sorry for him. Congratulations, Rich! You're a wealthy man! I will drink my next 4 beers to celebrate. Be safe, and get home when you can.

    Well that too! I just would not be a happy person if I was way across the country when my daughter was born!

    Thanks you. I just found it odd that I would get sent out this way. I never have been sent East of Mississippi. Now they are bouncing me up and down West coast. Just more BS.

    SHC Thanks this.
  11. I'm in casper sitting in the "start" of high winds. (It's only saying 35+ right now) At least the Sinclair has parking. A driver just told me. 70 in Colorado saying we need to have chains still. Glad I didn't dump them at the house.

    East side of Denver says snow. Typical.

    Hopefully cheyanne is reasonable on the. "Windy" not wanting the 65+ winds.
     
    Cetane+ Thanks this.
