    I can run a lot harder in a big truck than in my pickup - you sit upright, up high, feet flat on floor, more to keep you busy, air seat . . .

    I am so with you Jack. Before I got into the seat of a bigtruck I could drive my pickup forever and not have to stop, but as soon as I started to drive a big truck I cant drive for more then say 600 miles or so and I need to take a nice long break. Big trucks are so much easier to stay alert and keep awake in especially if your driving a slow detuned company truck where you have to downshift to make it over the 15 foot hill in front of you.

    How did you get a truck to Midway? Boat or did they build a bridge?

    I try to get out every 2-300 miles.

    Perhaps somebody already told you and I missed it but you are full of crap on this one. That is over 2900 miles and you would have to average over 95 MPH. Did not happen!
