    @Rontonio

    So I got one for you... and this is just me spitballing so don’t take it too seriously.

    When your empty. Does it feel like your “empty” or does it feel like you’re loaded to 80k?

    Like does the truck feel like it’s empty or does it feel like it’s only 80k...?

    Makes no sense but I’m genuinely curious...

    This thread HAS made me a phone addict though. Lol. It’s like a real life soap opera.

    Typical thoughts:
    “I wonder if @SAR is gonna get that barley done today without any breakdowns.”
    “I need to see if @Hurricane69 is ever gonna get unloaded.”
    “Will today be the day @MACK E-6 bans @shogun for copyright infringement.”
    “Is @stwik gonna throw the keys at the boss at big blue today?”
    And of course “I gotta see what kinda trouble the judge is gonna have to bail @wore out out of today.”

    You guys sure keep a man busy.

    That's funny Shooter! I think the same way you do. I find myself checking in here way to often also, but you could miss 1 hour and be 15-20 posts behind.

    Yes it feels “empty” but probably not like you think. My gearing doesn’t really allow me to go all that fast and I am old so even if I could - i probably wouldn’t. The difference is going up hill and only dropping a gear or two versus 10 gears.

    It is just easier to do everything when I have my jeep stacked and am empty. i can pin the booster an back up if i need to and I am only 99 feet long.

    It is just weird if I am pulling a little trailer !

    Amen brother. Try missing a week and trying to catch up.
     
  9. Ok. I need to get into a truck. And haul lumber, steel pipes or even crushed cars. Ya this is about my limit on "strange items" to ship.

    That’s the dang truth right there.

    Oh and I forgot to add:
    “I wonder if we are gonna get to hear @OLDSKOOLERnWV start that big ole Cummins today, c’mon!”
