  1. I was debating on the upstairs maid I was even thinking of changing trucks like @wore out since we have all this money and time, not running in winter.

    Well I made so much last summer I bought a truck for every day of the week except Sunday, I have a maid that follows me in the limo and cleans the truck while I'm dining in my mobile restaurant.

    And add to that the way people drive. It's always one extreme or the other. You have the "I can go anywhere anytime at any speed because I have 4WD/AWD" types, and the ones who are scared to drive more than 10 mph on bare pavement. :rolleyes:

    if your making enough money to have that kind of break go for it although I suspect there might not be many that could do that, all you got to do is run south of I-40, I-10 and I- 5 would be the best roads to run during winter if you can get enough freight on those routes i'd stay there till the end of March.

    I worked at a company one time that it seemed it was Tx runs and south west during the summer time and Wi. Mn.in the winter. At first I was kinda peed about it. Then I got to looking at the rate sheets. Yea I'll roast and freeze for that kind of money.
