It's a fold up jump seat. Has the very important purpose of storing my safety vest between the fold part, and resting a box of tissue on top lol.
I thought about removing it, but keeps going under the heading of maybe I'll need it someday

Although, I could lighten my load a few pounds if I did take it out.

I finally got around to taking the seat portion only and leaving the base for storage as well...

I used the same 4 bolts for the base that came from the seat so I wouldn't lose them...DOH...

$500 - $700.00 a year is a pair of tires every year...

One could sit back and whine and complain about the state of the business or try and offset your losses with something that costs you nothing...the time your wasting staring out from behind that steering wheel waiting...at least make that time more productive...

Mt, after 3 hr wait for consignee to open. Landed at J south of Atlanta. One van ahead of us, 20 hrs dwell time.

If nobody wants to ship with this expensive driver , I might join you at night at J. Right now FJ is an hour away.
I'll sit at Petro. But something tells me you will move quick, not as picky on the rates as I am.
