We are sitting at the Pilot in Priceville, AL. We have a short little run in the morning and then NEW DRIVE TIRES!!! Oh boy, more outlay!! LOL!!!:D

Pilot? Pricevile,AL? New tires?? Man, they say that bad news comes in threes. I guess so.

Just remember, the worst day in expediting beats the best day in retail management. We had breakfast at Cracker Barrel and they were having a big district meeting. They were learning how to rearrange the shelf in order to increase sales. Yea, right.

Mrs. Humble gave thanks not to be in retail anymore.

Stephenville, TX - in the van. Headed back to KC.

This weekend I sold my straight truck for close to my asking price, had a chicken dinner at my grandma's, and spent quality time with my daughter. Life's been good.

Guess we haven't been missing much. Finally heading back. You know we figured if we don't HAVE to be out there... WHY... it cost just as much, perhaps more to eat healthy, stay sane, be humane as it does back at the homestead.

I followed 38 somewhat comparable trucks on eBay over the past couple of months. 36 of those trucks either didn't receive a single bid or they failed to meet the reserve price. The 2 that did sell, were 'no reserve' auctions that sold ridiculously cheap. So, I priced it accordingly.

I bought it just a year ago when I "thought" the market had bottomed out. I ended up selling it for $3k less than I paid for it. If I would have been in a hurry to either buy or sell, it would have been a much greater difference.

Heckuva buyer's market for the trucks, for sure. No way I'd want to try to sell a truck I bought 3+ years ago.


Back in KC now.

Was this a truck that you need a cdl to drive?
If it wasn't would you mind sending me the miles year and specs I am close to buying either a van or a box truck maybe they call it a cube. I would like to compare. If it was a bigger one don't bother. Thank You.
