    Time to retire from the Straight Truck

    What can I say? I have seen the light. Why deal with the stress of DOT, hours of service, high repair bills, etc.? I decided to go back to the van side of things. I found a new 2019 Sprinter in my neck of the woods, and will start vanning soon. I think this will do. Thoughts...

    Signs of times to come?

    The other day I stopped at the TA on I40 west of Asheville, NC for a quick shower. I just parked my truck and was getting ready to get out and a guy walks up to my truck.
