    Well not everyone can put 3 coils in the middle of a 48' trailer with 8 foot drop tarps and 3 tarp straps and get 8mpg with free showers and big gulps at the Flying J

    Makes sense.

    A lot of people don't seem to value relationships anymore, wether business or personal. They just use until it's gone then move on. Guess they don't understand how it's something that builds value over time.

    Gonna be nice to have it. I'd bet you find more use for it once your shop is built. You seem to be attracting a lot of customers.

    @jamespmack we're looking for someone that can help with getting my wife her class A. She already has a B with air brakes. I can't take her on the road due to Mercer's insurance. We looked into trucking schools but can't afford what they want. We just need to get her passed on the road test.

    You wouldn't know anyone or have any ideas would ya?

    OH.

    She has to learn backing and everything too. I'm thinking she should do it all in the same truck, then test with it.

    I'm allowed to use mine for anything on private property and for the test. But if I take her on the road and something happens, well that would be very bad.
