Personally I'd prefer being in the field. I can't stand being stuck inside all day. Nice rig there, it would also make for a cool tow vehicle. Think of the possibilities, I would imagine that thing could fix just about everything on your trail rig.

unclejpl4x4 · « **Reply #10 on:** Jul 30, 2006, 12:26:08 PM »

yes it dose have a nice towing capacity i can easly pull a cat skid steer or a mini excavator.
sticker says 15,000 pull 6,000

so out of a 8-12 hour shift your on the road for 3-4 hours? (goin 70 i'm assuming) sounds like my old job, but i was a delivery driver for chef express (delivering things like chili's, outback, those places.)

For every hour you are on the road it's an hour you are getting paid for and not working. I keep telling MrW this when he complains on the time on the road.
How is time driving, cruising, listening to the radio, and in MrW's case.. XM radio...and getting paid for it.. bad time?

Cause you are dealing with a bunch of other

that you just want to

and risking your life every time you get behind the wheel.

Sure the money may be good, but how well will you be spending it laying in a hospital bed staring at the ceiling.

+ going up and down the same highway over and over gets boring. O and all the shobis from PA who can't drive.

example: leaving AC 2 go back 2 shop a NY moron in a black SUV decides 2 stop and put it in revers cause he dosent have easy pass for the EZZY-PASS EXPRESSLANE
In front of a tracktor trailer loaded he moves over and all i see are rev lights I also had a trailer loaded. It was almost nasty.

nice unclJ

I'm in the same boat, I drive for work, except I only get an 2000 F150. I love it though, even dealing with the idiots. Like MrsW said, getting paid to not work is pretty sweeet

Guess it's all in the state of mind. Not that dealing with idiots on the road is fun. I but the bigger the truck the more of a PITA it's going to be. And 99.9% of the drivers on the road are IDIOTS

and have NO RESPECT for trucks bigger then them.
All they know is they don't want them in front of them and will do whatever it takes to get in front of them. I see it every day myself.
I always try to give service trucks and truckers the right of way when I can.
