Beautiful rig! I saw a TV show about how they make those homes on wheels last weekend.

Adding skirts to the trailer and empty space between the cab and trailer would save you money in the “long run”...............

If I hadn’t joined the USMC in 1973 and became an electronics tech, I would have been a long haul trucker. Still consider it from time to time. Wife likes the idea. We could do double duty at the wheel............

I hit the bridge, and a truck came by. In an instant, a skinny instant, I could not see.

Anything.

72 miles an hour, blind. Jersey walls. Construction.

The truck was hydroplaning, floating.

I thought I was dead.

72 miles an hour, into a concrete wall, head on.

I put my mirror on that truck, kissing it, and hoped like heck he could see.

The eighteen-wheeler and my little pick up slid off the bridge, sideways. I was terrified.

I wanted to kill that f______.

On the next hill, the rain stopped, and I was greeted with a glorious view of the sun - it was beautiful.

And there was a goat in the middle of the dang road. A flippin’ goat.

Now, who is going to believe this shit?
