Hey Jeff,

Yuppers. Still in Flint. I'm not so much wanting local work this time around. I feel like a dufas, but last go around I never knew about the comforts some of these trucks had. I knew about the bed, but wasn't aware of the fridge, micro, tvs, etc.

Also, back then internet wasn't available like it is now. I have 2 poker clubs w/in a mile of my house & I play online mostly. So everything I'd need is in some of these trucks. I guess the only thing I'd be missing would be a shower & bathroom. And I'm fine w/ using a truckstop for those things.

For now I'm going out in my cargo van to kinda see what's out there. Just wanna observe things. Road conditions, traffic, tolls, what truck stops I liked, just a whole slew of things that I sort of recall, but can't quite remember. I'll do this for awhile & then take the next step of finding a vehicle that can take care of the customer while filling some of my needs too.

Good seeing ya post. If you're up for a call PM your number. I'd like to know a little more detail about what you're up too. Namely are ya finding your own loads or are ya signed on w/ someone now? Then a few other Q's about your truck & such.

Take care & be safe

Polished waxed flooring ,

One thing I had forgotten to mention is I also want to take my bowlex along...Kinda quirky I know, but to me at least a lil bit important.

Whoa...that's awesome that you're considering your fitness. If space becomes a concern, it's possible that some spin lock dumbbells (like these) along with an adjustable/foldable/homemade bench could be good replacements.

Something tells me if you're outside the box enough to consider a way to bring a bowflex, you'll figure out a way to make your business work in a van vs. the straight truck.

You have to be "outside the box" to make it in the van as opposed to the straight truck.

Literally.
