2014 started out with snow at our house and Bob got to go play on his Wheel Horse tractor.

Our first load of the year was in the deep freeze with miserable weather that gave the Espar heater a workout

Saw our truck with the Bolt Sleeper for the first time at the Expedite Expo in Wilmington OH.   The truck was a huge attraction as it was show with the sleeper and the truck with no freight box.   It was easy for people to see the disc brakes and discuss how we built the truck.

Interior of sleeper is absolutely amazing and AJ did a fantastic job with hidden Mickey's throughout.

Goal of truck is to have full skirts - these were on for show and we are getting the real working skirts put on over the Christmas break

Attended the Texas Motor Speedway with Freightliner and met many amazing truck drivers.   We were also able to listen to several NASCAR drivers that came over to speak with the truck drivers.
