    Well, just trying to help. If you have to reply to help with insults that says more about you than me. We already have X1, don't need another one here....

    The technical reason for that suggestion is that Youtube compresses the video, which sometimes makes a mess but also allows it to be embedded here.

    @road_runner maybe look into mail hauling where you are, now work with a former Estes P&D driver and he says this is cake compared to what he did. Everything is on wheels, just roll it on and tie it up.
     
    road_runner and Radman Thank this.

    Oh ok. I apologize @ZVar. I was irritated on the other thread. IMO it’s not bad advice. But it’s against the grain in trucking. I just got a text from my buddy who runs linehaul in high winds daily for Reddaway for 15 years on i80 Wyoming. He said it’s a hard conversation to talk to for a regular trucker. I’m not a story teller either.

    I do that too, this year I'm getting a sprinkler system it's going to be fun to see the nice green grass instead of the usual dead grass I have.

    That’s a lot of real estate for a truck driver’s salary. o_O

    In the Baltimore area it is. Out west a 40 is readily attainable with modest means. Longer commute but a larger neighbor buffer.

    I'm in the happy medium. I'm 5 mins from one major city and 15 from another I have access to i75 in about 15mins as well. But im in semi rural Florida, which comes with dealing with the "good ol boys" and there lifted pick up trucks.

    Man I can't get over how pricy trucks/Jeep's are.
    You can have my house, or 3 Jeep Wrangler.
     
    speedyk Thanks this.
