Well I did it to myself

No, If it don't fit.. don't force.. Get a bigger hammer.

 

I've got a double drop sitting at the house collecting dust if anyone needs to borrow it. Kind of the opposite direction from where u broke down at though. I'd be over there in a minute if I wasn't wrapped up in the company driver crap

 

That gave me a flashback to the latter days of C&H... Seemed like half those Cold & Hungry hands had a specialized trailer of one sort or another hanging out in the weeds.

 

If it’s ready, insured, legal. Maybe get word you are able to fill in short notice for a good price. Trucks break. Shops backed up, driver if O/O can fix but time. Having a power unit that can hook, on, make delivery even local, bring trailer back. In some areas could do costs, or better. But know your insurance of course.

 

Why mine is insured for my business use, in state only.

 

My CDL is interstate. But my truck is intended for in state. Couple 100 mile trips a week. With a 3 week pause right now. Hopefully parked in shed all winter. For my business use.

 

Its more convenient if you can dedicate all your time to it… first year and a half I had my truck, I worked full time doing construction, and ran as needed at night. I was a back up truck for a local outfit, and just like @larry_minn said, trucks break, shops are slow, rush orders come up, etc… work varied from one night a week, to 4. 4 was rare, and while I liked the income, my tail would be dragging pretty hard after working 4 nights a week…
