    Take your time with securement and tarping. Be methodical. You will not miss a step and cause a permenant delay down the road. Best of luck to you and go get your learn on!!

    Getting my ### kicked out there.

    inclement weather + 160lbs soaking wet makes handling frozen lumber tarps a BEAST.

    For the last 10 years, I have avg 3500 miles of driving PER YEAR. This week I did 3100 miles...in a truck that only goes 62 mph.

    I envy ALL of you that can do at least 67, nevermind 70-75.

    Well, I tested out a few days ago, was issued my truck, and sent 1100miles east to break her in.

    Glad that 2-months is over. I can finally get some sleep now.

    To prevent doxing, we'll just say it's brand new and I'm it's first assigned driver.
