    Dude my CDL was revoked in 2017. This guy don't know what the #### he's talking about. I had to take the driver test over again for regular car and the CDL I used someone's truck and trailer. I got hired hauling flatbed to Lowe's regional within days of regaining my CDL on Craigslist making $850 a week average and not a ton of miles so it wasn't bad pay really.

    That was one of my favorite trucks for pulling tankers. Big series 60 and geared super low.

    it could only do 65 but you’d be there #### near at the end of the ramp getting on the freeway and it would eat any hill alive.

    I don’t know where they got that truck or why it was specced like that. I would say it was for off road use but it had a 10 speed.

    Nope when the workers were leaving in droves they were losing that rent money and all the taxes from it and so they made man camps illegal as well. A bunch of empty buildings but they do have what they call company housing and they have to charge rent so they charge anywhere from $150 to $600 a month

    No I never had transmission problems on the international. The freightliner classic cummins went through 2 transmissions. I sold that truck for $10 grand

    If you have a CDL you can get a job. Stop posting people's #### and make excuses for yourself. Go get a job and try again

    I still have a pretty nice 88 freightliner flc, that I have run every day in the winter the last four years, and a lot of the summer before last. I have not run last summer or this winter,. I should have at least this last month, since I wrecked my road truck., I brought it in the shop and got it ready, but was too lazy to run it I guess, finally backed it back out yesterday. I should have least run it enough to [pay for the years insurance. lol

    I was talking about North Dakota outlawing man camps and confirming what was said. What does that have to do with what I said?
