I’ve been wanting to be a over the road trucker since I was young. So I figured before I kick the bucket I would give it a try. In Greeley Co I came across this one driver T660 that was retiring at 70. It appears to be very well taken care of. I was happy to hear he changed the oil every 15,000 miles too. The truck has a Cummins ISX15 485 HP, 18 speed, 3.36 gears, new tires, front air ride, all the extras including heated seats with a studio sleeper. He even put on 4 of the automatic snow chains. Flick the switch and a little wheel rubs against the inside tire and it slings short chains under the tire. Now my Butt doesn’t have to get out in bad weather and put chains on 👍

I stopped and visited Kelly and Mary Ann in Grand Junction (he’s the ugly one sitting next to his pretty gal). Today I met up with Claney (he’s the ugly one standing in front of his 2U) LoL

It was very nice to meet up with these guys and see old friends. I plan on traveling all over and seeing the country. If any of you would like to meet up for lunch sometime leave your location and number hopefully we can cross paths.

What the hell? You were only 15 miles from me when you were at Kelly's! Could have shown you some old iron of various colors. . . catch me when you blow through Colorado West again.
And yes, good looking rig. . .

The trailer in the first picture looks like what you need to haul honey bee hives back to North Dakota. You live in the right area to hook up with some migrating bee keepers.

Got a conflict now. Having a small oil business I’ve always liked seeing Gee and Pops run there fleet of trucks paying $4+ per gallon. Now that I’m running a fuel guzzling truck I hate paying $2.85 per gallon. LoL
