    Nice Cruiseliner, JB! I hated cabovers when they were the thing, but wouldn't mind driving one these days....

    My first was a 79 WHITE Road Commode.....

    Well, back on the road again. I got the call about 4pm with my marching orders. I have to swap out a driver in Florence SC at noon and deliver in Orlando at 3am in the morning. Right now I'm finishing up my break in Hardeeville SC.

    The way I heard it, the mrs called Richmond and demanded you get a load and soon... Guess she has seen enough of you or something... But I am just speculating on that... (just kidding)

    Glad to see you back out and running once again.

    We are heading to Ocala, FL at the moment and then a route back north and that will bring our 3 week out to an end.
