Well it looks like my truck will be ready next month. It is approaching that time in aviating over water when you reach a point that your remaining fuel will not let you do a 180 and head for home-make it or swim. I hope to see some of you on dry land in the coming months. Thank you all for...

Factory should offer a loss of use/income policy on trucks for this kind of loss. You can get it on a business owner policy and most homeowner policies have it built in. (sorry it's the ten years I spent in the insurance business) PS: I think I will stay with the cat c9 choice on my new truck.

It is late in the evening as I sit at my computer after a long day at work. That’s a nice truck I think as I look at the brochure, No air ride on my city bus, you feel and here every crack in the road. CD player, wow listen to music while I drive- no screaming kids and crying babies. I love...
