How about (from his last post);
but I'll always opt for the biggest I can get.

From dek to own authority part 5
For some reason it won't let me change the title or I don't remember how?
#15
It looks like someone figured out how to change it.
#16
I don't like this title. I demand another title change.
EDIT: A day in the life of a hobby trucker works. Thank you, management.

Ya know, you perverts. I was thinking after I typed that but then I thought, naw, they won't go down that route. WRONG
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! :wink: Seriously, good to hear things are working out for you, Steve. Now, can you please post a running commentary on what happens when you have a week off? Big Diesel tried that, but we all caught on that he was full of crap and called him on it. We need to see a thread on a true Hobby Time-Offer.

With exact numbers too please. No rounding off.

Well, I'm sitting here in Eagle Pass Texas about 120 miles away from unloading in the morning. I already have a load lined up about 10 miles from where I drop off going to within 98 miles of my home. It's paying $5,100 on 2097 miles.
Once I'm loaded up I'll make arrangements to have my local shop order a new radiator so it's ready when I get home. The wind was killer coming across Texas today. At one point I was going down hill with a top speed of 60mph and my foot to the floor. The wind passing by even with the windows rolled up was deafening. I look Rt 90 most of the way instead of the main roads. I think I left at least 25 dead rabbits along the way. They would wait until I was just passing then they would make a mad dash for my rear trailer tandems. I've also discovered a new thing to do with the deer. They stand right on the edge of the road and they don't move like I don't see them, right. As soon as I'm within 5 feet of them I lay on the air horn. They jump straight up in the air at least 5 feet!!!! It's 99 degrees outside right now. I don't know how people without the ability to idle can survive. It must be over 150 inside their trucks!!! It's 73 inside mine at the moment with the Rigmaster running. I discovered that I had to buy the privacy curtains to close off the front of the cab. That cuts down the area to cool by almost half.
