    i bought a truck...

    we have been company drivers for over 7 years and still would be BUT the company (us xpress) changed the trucks they are getting in no more auto's for about a year, (YES we can both driver a standard..!) but getting older and after being young dumb and thinking i was bullet proof i did some stuped things (we all did back then)

    we both have some arthritis and driving a 10 sp all day is just not going to happen so we went out and got a NEW TO US 06 volvo 780

    LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN.......
