Anyone ever hauled a load from Texas to Georgia and wished you had a basset hound as a copilot? Seems like that would be a fun ride. I think the closest I came was an OK to FL with a helicopter fuel tank. Or maybe it was flaperon slings.

Oh yeah, and I almost always quote transit time on the "deliver direct" loads. "Direct" leaves too much guessing to be done.

Some brokers push that envelope on drop protects too. I've started bidding, when I see it, with transit times based on 50 MPH. Most use 50 MPH with posted loads but a few override the protect. I find 50 allows for up to about 10 mins per transit hour to squeeze in a nap. Sometimes you just have...

True dat!! I think I'd grab my phone and shoes and let it torch! Of course, if I was sleeping on freight if try to toss it out the back door.

A lot of money but it's not hard to tell why the ProMaster is priced as such. Sprinter killer? Probably not. Thorn in the Sprinter's side? Maybe so.

I have one but I'm sure it's not big enough. If that aux tank goes it'll be a matter of saving my ***, not putting it out!!

Ok, I think I got about 6 good hours of sleep, once you factor in the trip out to my generator to push some more gas into it. I guess I need a physics degree to get this aux tank to work right. Self-siphon just isn't working. I think I'll try a straight gravity feed and vent back through the...

Boo. I was going to hit Walmart in Berea. "No overnight parking" signs everywhere. Headed up to Love's just north of Richmond.

17 @ 70 is good. I get that in good weather but this winter has killed my mileage. Hopefully that's normal and my 17+ comes back.

Empty London, KY. Moving up closer to Lexington I think.

Running at L1 certainly reverses the rate ***** title, doesn't it?

I used to buy up used trailers and straights on occasion, in addition to new ones. After stripping the old decals I used to get an "acid bath" done at Viking Truck & Trailer in Dayton. I think it did a good job of stripping road grime and decal glue residue. Then I had the trailers/str8s logo'd...

Still gotta be lots of weight!

Wow!!!! That's one heck of a lift!!!!

Oxidation and road chemical damage of all the non covered paint. And yes, glue residue left behind attracts dirt like crazy.

That is one big puddy tat!!! Or two!'

Nap over. OH to KY.

Goop works. And a $9 heat gun from Harbor Freight for logos.

Back at home. :)
