    We don't fuel at truck stops. My two favorite carflocks are set up for it.

    I wish Ken would order these trucks with that setup LOL. I'm stuck with a 12-speed automatic and 450 horsepower

    I've had that conversation with him and the guy at DSU that orders and spec's the trucks. Let's just say that they don't quite get it.

    But, you got your own trailer making you money now, be patient and pretty soon you will be buying whatever truck you want!

    Honestly I'll probably buy another trailer first. This one's on its last legs and I really don't want to invest a bunch of money into a really old trailer so it's just a way for me to get money built up so I can get something newer.

    For sure a better investment. A trailer will last longer, depreciate slower and cost less initially.

    Very good thread. I just came across it, don't know why it took so long. I will look for it in future. I'm an older hand now, but we can all keep learning something new everyday, keep looking for tips, improvement.
     
    Boardhauler and Crazytrucker77 Thank this.

    I'm not too embarrassed to admit that a couple of years ago I learned something from a Swift trainees comment on a You tube video.

    Yo Crazy! Wassup? Long time, no post, curious minds are spinning.

    What lane you running in?

    Seeing any big money spot market loads?

    How are rates doing overall?

    Will I last until my new truck gets put in service without murdering my co-driver?
