    Flipping through the local classifieds and found the old service truck I ran for nearly 3 years up for sale. Still looks pretty decent for being 11 years old.

    Lol. It is definitely skunk season in AR. I'm usually in the bottoms for a run around 3:30 in the mornins when I'm home.

    I hate using a light, but those moonless mornings and black skunks are a bad combo.

    There’s probably some humor in all these people trailering their Harley’s from Tennessee down to Daytona for bike week.


    The women’s restrooms ought to be quite full with men I reckon.

    There's a good chance it was me, either pulling a white 53' box, or white Wilson hopper. Just started pulling this black 53' box in February.

    You from TN in a day cab right? Didn't think you'd stray so far from the home 20. Also surprised I missed seeing your rig. That's a sharp ride!

    I'll be on us24 tomorrow morning eastbound to Remington, then on to the southside of Indy..

    I don't know how old Tex is, but I don't think he's a spring chicken. A fact of life is the older we get something small can turn into something big, and it will waste no time getting big. I don't preach and I don't give advice so take this as food for thought. Guard your health because we all have exactly one chance and only one chance to stay healthy, and once that's gone, I don't care how much money you have or how good your insurance is, you ain't gettin it back. I wish Tex nothing but the best, and hope he's back on his feet soon.

    Thanks.
    I am from Ky and stay out 2-4 nights a week depending on the freight I haul. When my number one choice of freight is available I go across 24 3-4 loads a week. With my type of freight full loads of vans or (mixed loads of cars and pickups) I can load more freight generally achieving more net revenue with a daycab. My northern Indiana freight comes in bunches, I run it hard for a couple weeks and then it goes a way for a couple weeks. Thats when I load towards @blairandgretchen home state or my home loads back to Ky.
