    Can you message me your phone number? Didn't we talk about an old g749 tractor for sale in citrus city? Apparently the owner has been identified but I still can't reach him. He wants to sell it by the end of the month.

    It's all timing, but I could certainly plan 2 days downtime if I can catch another load there. We have lots of stuff going north right now. Edmonton is a big one. And the old seniority farts don't like the ice, us younger bucks on the bottom of the board get to have all the fun. My buddy who I...

    It's been awhile, the new job is dynamite. I should have done this 10 years ago. I've been running loads to California or Phoenix a lot so I get to stop by the house about every 5 days. We'll be moving to my terminal in Denton Texas at the beginning of next year. In a couple weeks I will be...

    Howdy Will! It's teamsters local 745 in Dallas TX, I have my interview Wednesday which they'll fly me to and from. They offer a good pension, among a host of other benefits. I imagine in the next year I'll have the truck where I want it, disc brakes all around, power steering, full sandblast and...

    It has its perks! Drive a brand new truck every day, no sleeping in a rig. Health insurance is fully covered for the whole famkly. Hotels paid every night, keep my airline miles and hotel points. There will be Canada travel as well, so I'd like to take some home time up north to see the sights.

    Still daily driving the truck, fixed a radiator leak but no problems. Due for an oil change already, I graduated the truck driving school Friday and have my class A license, hazmat, doubles, triples, tankers and even a bus and passenger endorsement. Might be taking a job in Dallas hauling brand...

    Well no progress, been driving her still daily but mainly going to school full time for my CDL and all endorsements. Should be done around June, then I'll be busy driving and making some good money. Probably pack all our stuff and move after summer.

    Stripped and needle scaled this whole battery box from David Wymore. No more rusted, bent and crooked compartment. Small win but really makes the body lines straighter. I need a passenger fender and windshields next. Never mind the Exxon Valdez oil spill feeding homemade fuel from buckets.

    Got some mini dune play in, no problems sinking, good flotation. Note to self, offroading with 1/4 tank of fuel doesn't work too well.

    I rarely have more than 1500lbs even on yard clean ups. It'll be okay till my hub service jext year. But if I have a chunk of free time and a hair up my keester before then I'll certainly flip them.

    Just a little play with the new shoes and front spool. It's a point and shoot affair now. It goes everywhere through every soft sinking wash I could find. Next major mod, is power steering. I understand Tom will only have 18 more for life so I gotta get a kit. Mounting the tires pushed me to my...

    I should have it fixed by this weekend! Plus I want to feel how bad the NDCCs are before switching to the singles.

    She's been doing great with used hydraulic head. Got a little bed crane installed to make it more usable, upgraded wobble seals and billet retainers for front axle from redbarncustoms. I also took the leap and have 7 super singles coming tomorrow from CSM Army Tires in Alabama, 2017 dated and 7...

    Thanks for David Wymore again for letting me scrounge an injection pump off one of his parts trucks. I ended up taking it apart to find a damaged camshaft and boost pump drive shaft sheared off. But the hydraulic head looked good. So I disassembled my trucks pump, all new gaskets, swapped...

    Well I'm on the hunt for a hydraulic head. This morning she decided to seize up around the block, head is pretty much toast. I've been running a waste motor oil fuel filtered to 2 microns. I think this morning being 39 degrees the oil was just too thick to pump through the fuel lines and it...

    Little over 8 hours today. Chunk has been replaced. Replaced spring pack, oh and those mirrors got put on the other day. I'm beat In a couple weeks I'll get the axle shafts and drive shaft back in, then I go play Sadly even though the new leaf pack is a 12 leaf pack and the old one was 10...

    Spring pack detailed and back together. Amazing how much rust builds between leaves. Heater box shortened, blasted and painted. It'll go under the dash on drivers side. Much better than right on the side of the engine where you loose all your working room. Also in are some blind spot mirrors...
