    The outdated room we have is just going to make us enjoy and appreciate the resort all that much more.

    try flushing a 3rd time. Hold the handle down. What do you mean the clean towels are stained?

    Made it to Brunswick. Experienced a traffic backup from a wreck. One of the things I didn’t miss. Happy thanksgiving everyone.

    I keep shadow looking at different threads for different companies. None of them jump out saying pick me. My thoughts are if I want stability I pick a mega, if I want emotional support I pick a mom and pop. It’s a long while to decide but I’m really torn. The wife says I shouldn’t be stressed with another truck purchase….I dunno man.

    So how does your body take to the traveling? I know you said that you didn't know if you could do it or not.

    I drove a good 10 hour shift and then a 9 hour, last day was nothing at 6 hours. I could do it again.

    I’m actually thinking about changing things up and learning Flatbeds. I have to figure out which route to go. Do my research on companies that offer it and weigh my options. I figured it’s a way to stay in decent shape and not regain weight.
     
    popcorn169, 88 Alpha and dwells40 Thank this.

    Flatbed is pretty enjoyable. Some days it’s hard, but it’s never that bad. Receivers are usually decent places. Mostly Monday-Friday with 0700-1500 delivery and load times.
     
    dwells40 and Wickedfire77 Thank this.
