    Go without and pray, or live with the health issues.

    Yea he is about right, when my fiance gets outta college and we get married I will have to get her covered, or if we have kids. But just for me it is way too expensive plus there is like a 6000 dollar deductible so I figure if something happens that costs over 6 grand I have a lot bigger problems than not having insurance

    Last week while going through nashville a #### straight truck slammed into the side of me busting all 3 right side mirrors and screwing up my fender.. and then he tried to get away. I along with a flat bedder who seen it happen chased his ### down and boxed him in making him pull over. S.O.B. wasn't getting away from me. He was scared as hell once we got him stopped and even got him to admit fault to the police and on paper. Got my new mirror set when I was home but still have to get to the shops and get estimates on fixing the damage so I can also get my money back from the mirrors.

    Fender damage is minor nothing that some touchup paint and a buffer won't fix

    Whole different story when it's your baby instead of the company's. Glad you got the idiot and he out to have been scared. Glad your o.k. I know I take better care of my truck than Roehl takes care of theirs.

Gonna be taking 5 days off when I get home cause we are moving from macon ga to out right by the lake in eatonton ga. off xt 114 on I-20. But was a good month other then me getting hit lol. Gotta get the repair quotes when I'm home as well.

    How in the world are you getting 3100 miles a week? I'm staying out seventeen days at a time and only averaging 2000. I've had a few good weeks, but the bad weeks are so bad it kills the average.
