18 year old Owner Operator insight

I been running since 18 now 28. I’m from Texas I ran in the state until 21. Hauling dry van end dump and cement in pneumatics.

 

Back in the 80’s I drove a early model Shaker like that. One thing I remember the most was the air assist steering lol, it was a little improvement over my personal 1973 KW Cabover with no p/s at all......

Do you do your own mechanic work?

 

If the tag is gone off the valve cover you can do one of 2 things if you’re unsure of it being a 71 or 92.....

look at the front of the water pump cover, is it bolted on or does it have a big clip ring holding it on??

One of 2 places will have a set of numbers stamped in the block.....
Below the head gasket in the right front corner, OR.... look between the freeze plugs back on the right rear side of the block....

 

Looks to be the same freight here at the moment. How'd you get the loads? Need to know where to start with that.

 

I do my own Mechanic work, I ask questions when I need to so that's that. Definitely figuring out what air ride will fit on the front end.

 

My old man had the customers I just bought a truck and leased on to his company. Best way I would think is to find a small company in your area and just go talk to them about what your wanting to do. It only takes one to give you a opportunity

 

What type of trailer would you like to pull?

 

A lot of rock, moved here from Louisiana and there's still Frac like hell so whatever company I'll have to find that's willing to let me run with my truck

 

Do your own research. Get out and knock on some doors. Good luck!
