    Oh that big pump is in the shop lol.... not just a big gear pump...... 475 + 100%, oversized throttle shaft, solenoid with 1/4” outlet versus stock 1/8”..., Makes 40,000 feel like 10,000 ;). I had it on for a while but you had to really babysit it, more enjoyable when you can relax a little lol.

    How'd you pull that off? Getting those trucking gods to give it up like that... who'd you sacrifice?

    Seriously this is some much needed information right now.

    I need to get mama some iron. She does pretty good with a 9. Anybody have a recommendation?

    She's not big enough for anything larger.

    Been a long night....girl prides herself with the ability to talk people down....and she's always been successfully for the most part. Cops had to haul the one tonight.

    I don't like having to worry about her....and the iron won't help that but it ain't gonna hurt.

    Not sure, but I'm hoping this is the sign that things are picking up. Delivered a Ray last week, and they've been taking 27 ton once a week now for a few weeks. Williston was rocking two 30 ton loads a week for a couple months there.

    If we're going to keep up with demand, I'm pretty sure our six axle setup isn't going to cut it. A pusher could allow me up to 102,500 gross over the 89,000 I'm stuck at now. And being limited to 34k on the drives, I'm sitting at about 86,000 gross max with how the trailer loads out.

    That's almost 3 ton difference going to Williston PER LOAD. That's no chump change in terms of our rates.

    Take her to a gun shop that has a range and rentals. She needs what's right for her, not what anyone else thinks is right. So she should try several and see what works, for her.

    Any caliber can be lethal, but I would recommend at least .40, if she can handle it.

    She can't. She's just not strong enough. She does pretty good with a with my daughter-in-law's 9. I'm not sure what is....

    That's understandable. I would have her try several models chambered in 9mm then.

    Is she going to be carrying?
