    You paid Cliff Wilkins a visit and you didn't bring me anything back? You're acting like a grain hauler already...only thinking about yourself!

    I've used the site a little, so far it's free, not as many loads as on hoploads, but like I said, it's free!:biggrin_2559:

    I've used it some not too bad. Like Nevs said there aren't that many loads on it but it is interesting. If I had to pay for it I wouldn't use it.

    Well here is my new ride and new trailer. My empty weight with a 1/2 tank of fuel is 26,700. I hauled my first load today and the old Cummins did a great job. It is dirty do to the weather.

    The trailer is a 03' Timpte 42x96x66 and bought it at Wilson Trailers at Dodge City, KS they were real nice and fair to deal with. I just seen pics of the trailer and went by what the salesman Jimmy was telling me and when I showed up everything was just like he said. We come to an agreement on price that included a new tarp, four new bows, set of tarp saver cords and a DOT inspection. When they put it in the shop to do the DOT they found the sub frame was cracked and called me telling me that they was not going to repair it but replace it at no extra charge. Trailer is in great condition and pulls straight.

    I left you something there, the bill. They are waiting for you to come by and pay it. I just mentioned your name and talk about getting the red carpet treatment. Going to start calling you "Big Money Kramer" :biggrin_2559:

    HA! Cliff wouldn't know me if I walked up and screamed in his face. :biggrin_2559: I've bought a few items from him over the years, but probably nothing near what you've bought judging from the pictures of your old ride. If you're waiting on me to pay the bill, you'd better be ready for Cliff to come repo that seat. I didn't get the name Big Money Kramer by paying everybody's chrome bills!
