    I would but I wear a size 16. That could really hurt and cause you to fly out the windshield. If you procrastinate you will fight yankee beach returnees. Dodging coolers, beach chairs, lap dogs, and of course flying boogie boards tied to roof racks with yarn.

    Im over by 7k as well. I need it done bad even if its for getting a free BlueBeacon. I could have gotten it earlier this week but chose to idle and sleep. They can get it when I go home.

    Kinda of procrastinating so hopefully they will just send me on to the house in the morning when I get there. Haven't been sleeping too well these past few days. HATE having to park on the street at shippers and receivers. Pella load delivered 2 stops in Houston and first one was the crazy park at the gate overnight. Then my backhaul was a hurry up at get there pick up that I ended up waiting all day for so in order to miss the Friday and holiday traffic, I just stayed there until 2 am sat morning. Actually could've made it back to the yard today, but took shower and then fell asleep yesterday with time left (woke up after my 14 was up!) so was an hour and a half short today. Oh well, doesn't deliver until Tuesday anyway.

    My parents are coming to meet me tomorrow morning. I got here earlier than I thought. The drive all the way across on I 70 was an absolutely beautiful scenery. But I would never do it on a heavy load I'd come back across on 40 if I was heavy. So I have my yearly fix of awsome sceneries. What is the miliage they are turning trucks in at now. I have 1152 I only have 437300 on mine an I DON'T want to turn my truck in anytime soon. For the past 6-8 weeks since the mechanic that only works sundays worked on my truck it run awesome. Just want the body shop to fix where whoever had it broke step on pass side. So I'm hoping I never get the call saying its sold like 2 other drivers I ran into early last week. Nite all and be safe everyone.

    Yep that's the guy. Since he worked on my truck its been running great. The only thing I have wrong now is my washer fluid pump stopped working and will get that fixed when I get PM done. I del near wash. DC tomorrow morning and I'm 7k overdue a pm so should be going the yard. And just so you know they see them more by the miles than the number that last two guys thay has 2011 that were sold had a higher number. Mine is 1152 and one was 1155 and the other higher than that. But I just want to keep it as long as possible.
