    My wife bought me a shoulder holster similar to Docs, its specifically to fit the LC9 she got for me. We went out to eat not long ago, dressed with a T shirt and heavy unbuttoned denim shirt, no one had a clue it was under my left arm. BTW... nice gun!

    Safety.....? Couple months ago I was up
    here and another driver fell off his trailer right on the concrete outside. Another driver actually seen it happen. Since then we are not allowed to be on the trailer without them. Speaking of which.... a guy walked up to me while I was there and shook my hand, told me he really appreciated me taking the time to help him. I was confused since I never seen him out of his truck before, but it was the man that had fallen off the trailer. The day he fell I unchained his load, out the chokers on for the crane operator, then put all of the mans chains and binders in the rack for him. Figured it was the least I could do. He is bigger than you or I either one.

    Yes Sir you are correct. I drove a 2011 Freightliner that EZ had rented from Ryder. I pulled our lowboy from WV to Mobile, Alabama and back loaded both ways. I honestly didn’t care for it, I couldn’t “feel the road” as a figure of speaking. And so much easier riding than what I was use to. Wasn’t like driving a “Truck”.

    And yes these cars.... wow!!! Lot different than anything I’m used to. I bought my wife a brand new Z71 LT2 in 2016, more like a car lol.

    My plan to find a northbound load in the morning is now on hold. The guy I'm leased to has a truck down here. Driver went to Walmart in Midland and they towed his truck while he was inside shopping, so now I have to cover his load.
