    Careful, the salt is rough on generators. A buddy put his in a box. Cut big holes in the sides and put mud flaps on hinges over the holes. When he ran then generator he would open the flaps to prevent overheating. Before he would leave in the morning he would close it back up. Worked fairly well.

    Mine has holes on each side. I even put another 5 inch one just for exhaust. And it still kept overheating. Took it out of the case havent had a problem. The case i bought was designed for a honda 3000 which i didnt go with this time.

    Hope you guys had a great time at the truck show!

    My first month is in the books here and I have done some short runs, long runs, and put together a few partials. I haven't made it to the Northeast or West Coast yet, but have covered the rest. It's nice to book out 2 weeks in advance if you like or wait until after you are unloaded.
    I worked 23 days this month and P+L looks great! Now I have to improve on lanes and keep learning the system to make it even better.

    Like everyone else says, "Wish I would've been here sooner"

    So here i am a day away from my delivery in freaking west texas, and just grabbed one going right back to east Tennessee at 1.75 on 10k lbs that loads the morning after i deliver. That's an average of almost 2.50 a mile on long miles. But folks can't make money here huh?
     
    CJndaTruck, Chickadee and mtoo Thank this.
