    Yes, get hazmat and tanker. Makes you more marketable over newbies who chose the lazy way. And at some point maybe pulling hazmat tanker might be something you dig.

    I have Doubles, Triples and Tanker. I don’t like the idea of hauling HazMat but you’ll make more money hauling it. It’s a personal choice so do what makes you happy. ThumbsUp

    I’m with my wife, in the truck at Scotty’s Restaurant and Wilton Truck Stop in Wilton, NY. I wanted her to experience what truckers back in the day experienced in an Old World Truck Stop. I absolutely love this place and the people who work here. Such a Great Place!! We’re down for a 34 hr. reset until 5/15 at 7am.
    My wife is enjoying being in the truck with me and she loves the mountains of Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolina’s, Pennsylvania and New York. I love them as well. We’ve met a lot of awesome people on this journey and look forward to meeting more! If you’re in this area, look us up and we’d like to meet you! IMG_3423.jpeg

    That picture was taken a few days back in Illinois. I’ll try to get one of us tomorrow here at Scotty’s. Got “Myrtle” all cleaned up. I named my truck “Myrtle the Turtle” because she’s the slowest truck on the road being governed at 65mph. Takes an act of Congress and 30 miles to pass anyone in her. *Smiles*
    Tomorrow we do our usual clean up of the inside of Myrtle.

    Cherokee65,
    Glad that you and the Mrs. are enjoying the adventure. You just happen to be at one of my all time favorite truck stops ever. There wasn't any trip that I made to upstate NY that I didn't stop there. It is exactly the way that most of "Old world stops" were and I always enjoyed eating at the restaurant in the atmosphere of the 50's. I'm really glad to hear that you and the Mrs. are having a good time. Enjoy your time together as it is priceless and wonderful. Keep in touch.

    Thank you my friend! We had breakfast this morning in the restaurant and the food never disappoints. We’re both just stuffed! Jenn is one of my favorite people here. She’s a very sweet lady. I introduced my wife to her and she remembered me talking about my wife.

    Isn't it really nice when you are made to feel welcome and the food is tasty and good sized portions? I always liked being there for easy parking, good food and the customer service. I was going to make a trip with our 5th wheel trailer (the one in my avatar pic) and I sent an email to the manager and he invited me to come on in and free parking. I'm glad that you and Mrs. Cherokee65 are having a great trip so far. Enjoy it.

    I sent you a PM.
    I’m hoping we can meet there some time. We’d love to meet you there or anywhere else for that matter. I’ll be North of Syracuse, NY and then headed to Browns Summit, NC for delivery on Friday. After that I have no idea where they’ll send us.
