    I'm sure it will at times. This is something I've done for many years, so I'm sure it will always be with me. But I do have other endeavors I am involved with even now that I will do full time, one being real estate. I have had my license for many years and will probably do it full time with my wife when my truck driving days are over. I do some real estate work now with her even when I'm gone, and when I'm home.

    The only thing I can come up with is that the poster was confused and thought he was in another part of TTR, or he might be trolling. in any event, he will more than likely be a one hit wonder.

    We're trying, she goofed a little on her first attempt at her LPN test and has to wait until after the first of the year to re-test, but we've made it this far so what's another few weeks. So long as we get home before the heavy snow sets in, I'll be happy. Thanks for checking bud.

    Hey There Johnboy,
    Dont bother to look for me up in Kenly anymore, Wednesday morning when I started my truck I threw a rod, or at least thats what I was told. Towed the truck and trailer to H and H down at exit 41, Company then rented me a car and I came home. Thursday night I was told I was being laid off because they were closing the company. They would pay all truck repairs, and wanted me to buy the truck. It has a $66,800 payoff, and since then I have been thinking about it. I went to the Volvo dealer in Pompano,, and they have a 780 set up just the way I want it, question is, do I want to invest.

    Hope you had a good Thanksgiving, and your home for the weekend. If you get a chance let me know what you think.
    Take Care,

    Larry

    Sorry to hear about your company closing it's doors Larry. I'm sure you will find something that will work for you. It's a shame it had to happen right at the holidays. As far as the Volvo 780, it's a very comfortable truck to work out of. You won't be dissapointed if you go that route. What does it have for a motor and tranny?
    Keep in touch Larry, good luck and God bless.
