    I wish I had 10 Trucks worth 50k, and 10 trailers worth 15k. All paid off. I’d sell them all right now.

    @Judge. Do you by chance know; or have had occasion to do business with, a man in Osceola who has a recycling/salvage/junk operation there? He used to run a fleet of KW's, new driver had 30 days to stop smoking, and had such a management program that there were people getting on his list of when he would have a truck for sale. Can't come up with his name right now.

    No, like a guy in Batesville who ran a fleet of needle nose Pete’s, I think he went down to 1 or 2, but he used to run a ton of them

    Amen to that... Miss the nights of running incognito with all lights out to sneak around the scale houses on the little local road that passed 1/4 to 1/2 mile behind the scales. Lol, good times.

    For stereo installs we would just get circuit breakers from the local marine supply. Something like this.....

    SIERRA 200A Circuit Breaker, Surface Mount | West Marine

    Well as crazy as it sounds. I just remeberd this is month number 8 away from the house. We left on January 4th and havent looked back. Not sure if thats a good thing or not. But the old timers say to make hay while the sun is shining. And thats whats going on. Ive already made the same amount of revenue in 8 months as i did all of last year... In the home stretch now. Think i will go home for thanksgiving and call it a year

    Came up with his name, Speedy Shoemake. Business is Osceola Waste Material, 1125 Industrial Dr. My connection to him was thru his brother (1 of 8 + 1girl) Buster Shoemake. Buster was with Gregory Salisbury in Memphis handling C & D Industrial batteries. Sometime in late 80's Buster moved to Joplin and was running some trucks to St Louis and boxes back out of Alton.

    :mad:If the morons in charge of DOT are going to mandate breaks, they should have to figure out where every truck in the US can be parked at the same time. It's a major PITA to get a 30 in at 0300-0400 when every rest area, truckstop, and ramp is full.
