CB on a board and antenna welded to a visegrip. Very Teamster. Some of those guys do relays like the Pony Express. They switched trucks twice a day. No passenger seat. Toss the bags on the floor. Two gym bags. Workboots. Pallets, kicking pallet Jack's under crapola skids. Boxes fall on your feet and 55 gallon drums. I love this story. It's classic and pretty much how many of us started out. Mine was NJ to Midwest and down to the Carolinas and back. COE Transtar 2. I started at 24. I didn't start going further until I was 28 and with a different Co. When I worked for Decker Transportation I was introduced to Party row. Naw, I'm getting hungry. I'm more a proceutto and provolone rolled up together and grapes and raisins. Baby Bell cheeses too. Safe travels and God bless and go home and go to sleep.

Please don't be mad. I try to be factual with things when possible. But in the beginning you said that you were unplugging the glow plug on your tractor. I believe it's an engine block heater on your tractor that works well in the cold weather. Glow plugs are used in light duty diesels and are in the intake manifolds to heat cold the air coming into the engine. Love the different things you do.

Thanks for correcting me so politely, people should learn from this. Unfortunately, my mouth talks faster than my brain thinks so I say a lot of dumb stuff sometimes.
