Where is everyone #5

Texas-bound on Sunday. Duncanville, TX for delivery on Tuesday, lumber load. Didn't even have to pick it up myself, lol.

Is the Hitchin' Post Travel Plaza/Restaurant near Gainsville, TX any good? I'm tired of staying at Peelots/Loves for the night. Their restaurant looks like some decent home cooked stuff.

 

I'm ready to go truckin this honey do list ain't no joke.....sheesh

 

Oakley pays by the mile.......the weight limit thing only lines their pocket not yours

 

Cant say I've ever been to it.

 

That's what I gathered.

 

Their rates are a joke.

 

I'm gonna call horse ####....you can fit but choose not too. My Dad was a mountain....6'8" tall and almost 400 lbs drove 3 5 9 every day. Did he really like my 98 unibilt flat top you #### betcha, did he park his 359 no sir he didn't

 

Especially considering (what do they haul, grain?) their tonnage rate is probably in the few hundred a ton range? 52k versus 50k for each and every load could be an extra $200 in your pocket.

 

I wouldn't think of buying a truck for a 1.51 a mile

 

Well since it’s been a topic of conversation, here’s some fresh off the press live action scale tickets of my personal equipment, just to give an idea on tractor weights.....

@rank and I had a discussion about 3 yrs ago on my tractor, I’m thinking when I measured the wheelbase it was 253 inches. (2) 120 gallon tanks are 3/4 full on this weight. (10) 24.5 aluminum wheels with 24.5 tall tires. 50 inch aerodyne sleeper.

Hope this helps..... I dropped my trailer in the lot and re weighed.
