    You’re more brave than I am to trust “secured parking” in Memphis. Hope it works out for the best.

    All the more reason to stay out of the city. You really want a city girl? You need a corn fed ride or die that’s pretty but don’t know it. That’s who you build a life with not miss prissy spend your money and leave when it’s hard.

    There are single girls everywhere. Personally I’d rather have a country girl

    That looks pretty legit for $250 a month. If they have good cameras in place that would lower my concern about people borrowing things from my truck when it’s there.

    I understand your goals, so this is only my opinion. If I were planning to park my truck there, since it’s already a decent trip from downtown, I’d look for housing south of there to make the commute easier. But I’m also older than you so I view things differently from the lens of what makes my life simpler. The last thing I’d want to do when I park my truck is jump in the car and go across Memphis to get home. That’s me though, so my choices would be different.
     
    AFC and exhausted379 Thank this.

    If you went to an LTL company or tried hauling gas? As a company driver would it be better for work 5 days have two off? Then you have balance. It won't be 13 k net......
