Greetings... I hail originally from Pikeville, home of the annual Hillbilly Days Festival. Land of the Hatfields and McCoys. Rugged mountain terrain along the West Virginia border. Norman Rockwell would still recognize this place largely unchanged by time.

there is a do-it -yourself wash across the highway...they have the scaffolding to do roof for the straights and its cheap if your truck needs a shower...

mjolnir131 · Feb 21, 2009

**** snow is heading back in wish i was head down to texas ... oh wait what this on the QC?

Depends on the AK load. On the one we took they gave us Reno for a layover. It made little difference that load paid so well I could have deadheaded almost anywhere and made money. As it was even with a 5000 mile deadhead we made over $1.40 per mile and that was back in 2005. Layoutshooter
