    I've only been in it for a little more than a year, winter's are slower but I did OK last winter. I hear right now it's more the price of oil being so low production is down affecting tankers.

    So last month when I was scheduled to take vacation my truck took a dump and missed it, rescheduled for today and yesterday when I made it into Houston, I went to the Fry's Electronics to get my computer fixed and my pickup wouldn't start after coming out of store! Not a good start to vacation! Still.....

    At least some piece of work driver didn't hit your vehicle while you were gone and not bother to take responsibility for what he/she did. Hopefully it doesn't cost you $700-1100 or more to repair your truck:mad:

    So vacation is over, but no load for me yet, wtf? Trucks moving all around me and I just sit! Well that's trucking, so this is the end of this thread for me, everyone have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR! Be safe and keep the rubber side down!

    I'll be starting another thread for the new year.
