    Sort of like me taking a load to Miami? I'm matched to one load and it goes 20 miles. I wanted to go west, not all the way south. I instantly regretted it after booking it but oh well. I haven't ran 95 in awhile, so I guess it's a nice change?!

    yep, I did some home time and for once I stayed off the internet, did odd jobs around the house, but in saying that I also repaired my apu generator, replaced 3 batteries in the truck, put a set of tires on the pickup, built a new set of steps off the back porch,deck. I loaded to okie city for Monday to keep from going broke at home. I am reloaded out of norman for Lexington, Kentucky, then its off to Louisville for 6 month inspection.

    kona that's a dang nice trailer you got, good to here you are doing well. post more tonight after I stop somewhere on i40

    That's a KILLER empty weight Kona!! Didn't see any chains, binders, straps etc in/on the bulkhead? You storing them in the side boxes of the trailer, headache rack? If not what is your empty weight with all you gear? Also, what's the beam rating and cross member spacing on that Mac?

    Very good looking setup!! Keep us posted. I pull a Quick Draw and would consider pulling for Mercer should the work be there for the setup.
