    On a "non trucker note" my girlfriend and I are moving. It sucks when you come home to your apartment and find a copperhead in your kitchen. Yes...yes, I killed it, but I'm not afraid to say, I was scared. But safe travels everyone

    No video. I was concentrating on killing it, while still looking like a tough guy to my girlfriend even though I was scared.

    I was referring to the video that she was taking.

    You know... The one of you running around squealing like a little sissy girl before accidentally dropping the shovel and inadvertently severing the little corn snakes head.

    That video!!! :p

    Hey ... I found this item while shopping at Sam's Club the other day and I love it so I thought I would share...

    It's actually a small sturdy 24" folding stool but makes for an awesome compact TV tray for the truck. Much sturdier than a cheap folding tray and not as clumsy to put up and take down... And fits perfectly behind either seat.

    Thus ends this MacDaddy's Truck Tip... LOL

    At first glance I thought that, that was one of those raised toilet seat thingies that older people use when they can't get all the way down lmao!! If so I was going to say you need to get out that truck more often and stretch lol

    Been a while since jumping on here. So after some serious procrastination and some brow beating from the love of my life (@heckclan) I would like to say thanks to John for helping me through training and all the other support you've given and continue to give me. You have really helped me get started in this career on the right foot. It's been a roller coaster but I have completed my first solo pay period with almost 6000 miles on it. I am sitting at the yard in my own truck, a 2015 KW #1545 and enjoying the sunrise!

    This is a really fast moving thread. I am going to have to catch up with you guys and gals!
     
    Redtwin, KD5AXG, Finfn1372 and 4 others Thank this.
