Where is everyone #5

We're in the same boat, have zero to a little less than zero desire to buy a truck. Company sets me up in brand new equipment and gives me a decent paycheck. I do what they ask to the best of my limited ability, take care of their equipment and rarely ever hear from them.

 

My late 20s feel like my late 40s. Could be because I'm out of shape

 

Enjoy it while it lasts youngster.

 

Speaking from experience and not listening to my father and his buddy when they chastised me for jumping down from a flatbed, don't do it. I'm 50 now and I can still jump up on a flat, climb all over a load and carry a set of tarps. However at the end of the day if I don't take advil before bed, getting out of bed the next morning is painful. My knees are going and most of that can be attributed to jumping down from trailers, loads, frames. Just 5 years ago I was still superman then one morning I woke to aching knees, aching elbows, advil and the realization that those old men were right.

 

Been wrenching 20 years and driving 12 professionally. Dad drove 49 years. Wish he was still here I wasn't done learning from him.

 

6' 8" you say? you need to find out where @SingingWolf shops lol

 

I agree, I will say though that most of my friends that drive has nice trucks and make a good living. @snowman_w900 or @superhauler for example don’t drive buckets of bolts and I assume they do ok. I never ask what anyone makes but I don’t get the impression they’re broke.

 

Yep. Shirts are from jcpenney and jeans come from casualmalexl, shoes from 2bigfeet
