I've ran off and on for years, was a bedbugger back in the mid 80s , bought a new Pete and ran for North American Van lines then paid the truck off in 11 months, back when you could still make a dime. Drove off and on for a buddy mostly quick trips from Ohio to Fl leave Friday evening back Sunday night, also hauled doubles for a company for about a year at night while having a full time day job loved hauling doubles in the winter
In 2000 ran Charlotte to LA with Tshirts unload them load produce and back to Charlotte , leave Sunday afternoon late and back late Thursday night/early Friday, sleep for a day and party till time to leave again!
2002-2003 ran flatbed hauling lumber out of Ohio, Pa, WV to the furniture places in NC and SC
Always had long nose Petes with Cats under the hood, if they didn't run a 100 at least I wouldn't own them
Anymore all the fun is gone, stupid regulations, computers, too much BS they want to know where you are within 50 foot at all times. How are you suppose to stop at the fun places.
One of the reasons why I do what I do know
but there are times when I wish it was 2:30 AM, full moon, straight flat smooth road, light load thats paying me well, seat dropped low,with the 8 inch straights talking back to me
