    I'm confused; you're already an 0/0 with one truck?

    No...I used to own a flatbed rig, that my father in law drove. I sold it to him after my wife passed away.

    I drive for KLLM as a company driver.

    They provided a truck for me to drive. And most of the time it is hooked to a trailer. When they trailer is full the company and I are making money.

    There is a bed in the rear portion of the truck. It also has a radio and windows that go up and down.

    It is white.

    My company is a bottom feeder company, but so far I like working for em. We run International and Cascadia's before I went on Medical Leave I just upgraded to a 2013 Cascadia with a 10 speed tranny. Trucks do not come with all the extras that is bring it and buy on your own.....

    I drive an 2002 International 2574 tractor with a 2000 Great Dane Trailer.It has a ISM 320v Cummings with a 13 sp .Old and slow ,But I get amazing bennies. Our extras are AM/FM, A/C,and roll up windows.And yes,it's a daycab.
    I don't have to drive the latest and greatest.I'll take the money and the extras for my comfortable lifestyle instead. I also don't have a 1 out of 1 million look alike truck either.

    One so different than all the other million only means if you run someone off the road, you are easy to find.

    Well being a professional driver, my job is to NOT run someone off the road, and if I did, aren't I suppose to stop ??
