Yes I would have never semi retired I had enough of the ELs and these Truck drivers on the highways these days. No more old School Driver’s like I was out there.

Well, hell, I could’ve worked on the DM today. I had a go to the gym and the instructor beat the hell out of us today frankly, I forgot about the damn thing I was gonna go out and rake up some leftover leaves and my body was aching so I thought I better just watch television.

Sorry about stepping on your tread.

Bob I didn’t mine at all no harm. Like you the last years I drove I hated to even go in to work. I worked the city the last 5 years of my career I like it and the cars I didn’t mind it was the other Truckers that couldn’t drive especially in a big city. My last truck was a Mack CHU613 with a Mack m drive 12 speed automatic. If it was below 20° the transmission wouldn’t shift right not just mine every one’s. I never thought I would say this so many times but I don’t miss Trucking after 34 years of driving and being a 4 generation trucker.

Hey, that’s something you gotta get into . Joey pick yourself up a  put together model perfect in your condition. I haven’t even priced any of that stuff in a long time. The last one I bought was a LN Ford box truck that was around 20 years ago. it’s still in the box but yes, I still have it and that will be after the DM

I’ve got plenty to do on the DM

Like to see that. I got a few Custom First Gear I need to finish too. Yeah I got a Dump Trucking job right here in my town 3 years ago I drive a 2003 Peterbilt 330 single axle and I like it off in the winter drive in the spring summer 

I’ll just go to more progress on the DM. I’ve got all kinds of pictures of it right now. I’m working on the nose I don’t know if you’ve been following that thread, but I could’ve bought another one that was on a lot better shape. I didn’t realize how bad mine was until I started grinding off old Bondo and fiberglass repairs holy cow. The other one was in a lot better shape. I only wanted 150 bucks for it.
