    No, 95% of his assignments have been really solid. This stuff just happens I guess.

    I agree. I think it just happens. It is a shame it is at your expense.
    My dad checked-out a 2007 Western Star at Stoops Freightliner yesterday. It has a DEtroit motor,13 speed, 125,000 miles on it. It is red like mine and Pete's. They want $77,000 dollars for it.

    Yeah you can know it and understand it, but it's not easy to accept it!

    That place that he leased Pete on called him last week about those team runs. He was interested enough to call his salesman at Stoops to see what they had for sale. I think he would do it if he could find a good husband and wife team to put in it.
    My dad show-ed me a picture of the truck and told me about it when I was visiting his wife for Mothers Day.

    That is your buddy Pete. The white Freightliner is my old truck. It had a 26 inch sleeper. The picture of my truck pulling the band trailer was taken on its first trip. That is why there is no signs on the doors. The picture was taken at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis,IN.

    I do like the painted tanks. Don't think I've noticed that anywhere else.
