    Could be...

    In hindsight I believe PGT has a Venice address...

    Either way. Where you at for the night? There ain’t #### down this way as far as truck stops go...

    If you’re north of Tampa be aware the 75 corridor will clog pretty good going into Tampa till you’re south of I4... unless there’s an accident it should be smooth sailing afterwards till your exit :)

    I normally stay at the Petro up towards Ocala. Ride down in the early morning, handle business and beat traffic, ride home...

    I got a 2005 Duramax. It’s to new for sure. Still only has 90k miles on it so I’ll hang on to her for now. It’s amazing the value that truck is holding.

    The price on a new one is just stupid. No way I’d by a diesel either. Unless your using it for pulling every day a gasser will get it done.

    Guy I know bought a dodge cab and chassis gasser 1 1/2 years ago and pulls a 40’ with it doing hotshot. Got over 100k on it with no problems.

    It has 0 value left and he still owes money on it though. So there is that?

    For all you fashion savvy truckers like myself, Tractor Supply is running a good sale. Carhartt t-shirts @12.50 with pocket. Blue Mountain cargo style work pants @12.99. Schmidt work pants are 24.99, these are quality threads. Last a long time and hide grease well. Warmer than blue jeans too, but not too heavy.

    I've have paid parking close to the house in Daytona Beach. Costs me but it worth it not having to play find a spot /make a spot. That Petro is nice because the parking lot is huge compared to anything south of it on 75.

    I’ve heard some negative things about the 6.7 Cummins but have no direct evidence to prove it. I’d like to have a new F350 with a 5.9 common rail, my Ford mechanic buddy claims the newer Ford transmissions are pretty good.
