    Split rims even!

    When I started I can't remember there being a skills test. The boss would however properly chastise you for messing up a shift with the 5x4.

    I fuel in Sw Arkansas. Primarily Love's or Magnolia Travel Center. Since I am a company driver and I don't pay for the fuel, it's no big deal. But since I've been back driving, I've driven Petes, a 378, a 386, and 2 different 579s and they are all within .3 mpg.
    I know people think that tanks are somewhat aerodynamic, they actually are not. The ladder, the crash box and valves hanging down all are wind catchers. They are a lot better than a box driving in crosswinds though.

    Apologize for being tardy on catching up with the posts —left my glasses at the eating establishment last night and couldn’t see #### — think that I would loose my ### if it wasn’t buttoned on with my belly button

    Next time suggest he go to a salvage yard and get a solid/fixed seat. End of problem. Or a nail keg and a Walmart throw pillow.
    Oops, nails don't come that way any more. My bad.

    Love that solid piece tarp. I had a 32 foot for flat bed cotton. Real man makers they are.
