    Hell yeah man, I’ll get there. I learned a lot this first week. Mainly that the Dixie cup of a gas tank on this truck isn’t going to cut it.

    I see those reliable and forward air trucks with the extended sleepers and makes me want to upgrade already.

    If you have a tractor on the trailer, I would use it to move the trailer then reload it, wash it if needed, get on down the road

    This crossed my mind but was not necessary as the small town in Oklahoma gathered to watch my misery and help me out of it lol.

    You will have the ability to run some high dollar pickup truck only loads when you finish the bed. Some of the best paying loads don’t need a trailer. When it happens it will be icing on the cake. The thing is you never know when the opportunity comes up.
