I can tell you this much. I was at Peterbilt in Little Rock a couple weeks ago. And Calark had just bought like 75 new trucks.
It's not gonna go away. I'd just pay it an be done with it.
Also you'll need four J hooks.
Shelby Elliot in Sikeston Missouri usually has several for sale.
I've never worked for Walmart. But I've spent many hours at them D.C.'s waiting to load or unload back in the day. No thanks.
I don't think I'd leave the job you have now. The good ole days of trucking are over. It's not as fun and not near as much money out here anymore.
This might sound crazy. But it sounds like you could have a broke motor mount.
Hurry up an wait.
I always take my signs an flags off on holidays. Or run at night. Lol
It'll haul it all day long. Load er up and put it in the wind driver.
I agree with you. Driving is the easy part.

There's companies out here who will hire anybody.
I've always filled my filters before putting them on.
Sounds to me like you might have a busted inside wheel on your drive axle. Sometimes it's hard to spot. An aluminum won't shatter like a steel wheel.
Most OTR hoppers are 43' long 78" tall and 102" wide. It's not to tall. But it's big enough to get a descent load of light commodities.
I try not to go northeast of Richmond Virginia. That's how I deal with it.
379 Peterbilt with 270" wheelbase. 600 cat. 355 rear ends. End of discussion.
I'd get me a few ratchet binders.
Go find you a small independent company that pulls hopper bottoms. That's what I'd do.
