cranetruck will become famous soon enough

Put 17,000 miles on my deuce during a 2-year period, including the 6,000 crossing the US and back.
Ran on veggie oil and biodiesel for about 3,000 miles total during that time.
Hauled the dolly to AR, the laundry trailer to NV (first image) and returned with the xm757 from OK (second image).
Loved the freedom of the open road and slept in the cab of the deuce while parked at truck stops. Enjoyed the help and friendship of many SS members.....

At 65, I guess I now qualify for the AK trip.
