    Jeez, glad you’re still here entertaining us. Being home on sick leave for the next 3 weeks would be boring as hell without you and your travels.

    Yeah it comes down the the sleeper, but I like the closer feel of the cab.

    Pretty much stuck with the new design now as I doubt I’ll ever buy my own truck and I don’t think I’ll have that many more years in the seat anyway. :)
     
    Lonesome, JoeyJunk and Bumper Thank this.

    Yeah I lost mine last year too, well she lost herself unfortunately, but my new one has worked out pretty nicely. Wishing you similar good luck, you’re owed some!

    Well I’m sitting in the yard ahead of a week off after having warranty work done on the truck yesterday and an oil change tomorrow so maybe you should check with me after Labor Day lol.

    So, a while back when I was on that elevator load before my truck broke down, a request was made to show my tarping skills.


    This is what I am hauling

    And this is what my tarping job looks like(I was too tired and in a hurry after getting loaded the other day to snap a pic of the tarp job at the plant)

    I made it all the way from Ravenswood WV to Moses Lake WA thru some pretty wild winds, and it's still there, so I am one up on the average Western Express flatbedder.
