    It's been a while since an update. Btw, have you seen Twinstick's build? He's in your area. There is a lot of love between him and easyrider, which is a good thing.

    No telling. There is no bounce back until people go back to work. I think 2020 is a lost year between this and the election. The only exception is a vaccine release. If we get that, the world will go gangbusters.

    Haven't touched it in 3 months. Gonna head out there and button up the bottom end and put the engine in the corner until I go back to work. Just gonna start rebuilding the cab since 90% of it is just labour. Steel, MIG wire, fibreglass and bodyfiller are cheap lol.

    Yeah I don't know either. I don't need a huge amount of money. I own my rig. Trailer Rent to LS is 200 a week for a step. I might need to do something about that.

    I wonder if I could do better as a co with a tanker outfit.

    I’m not buying any more Trucks, in the foreseeable future. So used to no payments,now going on 8 yrs. Only spent $6k on Truck and Trailer last year. Spent $18k in January this year for an overhaul and extras. There’s no way to justify spending any more than 70k on a Truck. I did that in 2000. I still won’t ever make that mistake again. I don’t care how much warranty it has. Or how high the mpgs are. It still costs $120 a day to keep my paid off equipment parked. That’s bad enough.
