    Parked at home .

    I managed to roll 3200 miles in 4 and a half days this week . I feel pretty rough . Lol

    I found out that we are going to e logs here soon , so I will be looking around because I am just not gonna work the same time for less money.

    I did find another guy to work for , he has 4 trucks now , and is willing and needing at the same time to buy a new one to haul cattle for . It requires going out for two to three weeks again so I will think hard about it , but I think the family is gonna get mad..
    Not to mention the guys there run about 4000 to 4500 a week .
    I don't know if I can handle that .Lol just think a few months ago I was a swift driver . Hahahahaha:biggrin_25523::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    Hell with that !!!!

    See I like the fact then when I am tired I can sleep . Then when I wake up I can roll....


    E logs make tired people drive and people that are awake try to sleep . Not good !!!


    I am looking into buying a truck , well sort of kicking it around .
    Anyone got any inside on the down and up side of it ?

    Looking into the older trucks,it's just my style .....

    Found a nice 359 exhd .... 63 inch flat top has a good bit of work and updates , buy #### it's a big step..
