    Looking to run Local Oklahoma in a '71 White Freightliner, I've ran every summer with my grandfather and I've got knowledge. Know the equipment and laws in general. Maintenance as well. Just figuring out running loads in the area, a lot of rock and feed. Insight please and thank y'all.

    Whew, some of us are still around that has been in some of them old iron. Considering Oklahoma... you might wanna have a good seat under there. Some of those roads are bad plates.

    I was not much at 21. Not in those days. Not going to ruin a bright and upstanding Okie with the garbage we put up with in our time back then. =)
