    isn't Denver great

    You either get city and get hammered with stupid people and traffic and no roads that have been improved in 30 years

    or

    you go to the mountains and chain up 30 times

    or you go to Wyoming (self- explanatory)

    or you get to go to Wakeeney (which is the easiest, but it's like 650 mile turn)

    Wakeeney is the easiest but 650 miles 5 days a week is a ball buster.

    It was a pup. I couldn't find a picture of my tractor with a pup though. The picture was from last month in Harrisburg when I was pulling a 36 on a school route.

    Not being a pecker. Soon you'll grow out of being in a big truck just to be in a big truck
    Youre in my world right now. Drive Tractor trailer or straight truck. It pays the same at my employer. Over the years I just don't care. I like straight truck more doing local crap.

    Did my duties hauling doubles and bumping docks, Hauling freight sucks no matter size of truck and other drivers don't look down on you
