    Blair or old man do you guys use your showers when it is really cold out or do you drain your water tanks for the winter?
    Very close to buying a big sleeper and want to be able to shower and go to the bathroom when it is freezing out and worrie.

    The water tank should be vented to the inside, so you can keep a space heater on with the generator when parked to prevent freezing.

    If you can’t keep it plugged in when home, you’ll need to drain tanks.

    No doubt. I wouldn't recommend anyone buying a truck right now. Unless they want to buy mine. Lol. I've decided there's better and more profitable investments I can make with time and money. Lol

    i see your rate per mile went way up from when you started. How? Are you still finding freight off the load boards?

    If it's done right a guy can still do good. One must specialize to make really good money. Hauling general freight doesn't pay that good. Blair and Oldman are doing it the right way. Lol. Follow their example.
