  TRX450; Glad you are not one of the 21 to 25  yr. kids. That is quite an accomplishment for you your Pappy taught you well . Keep on learning from Dad . When you get to age 21 you will know understand what I said .  Keep on truckin' Lad and be carefull those mobile parking lots can be top heavy.     Respectfully , Cannonball

thanks cannon. i appreciate that youre one of the few drivers that i have met that actually has some commom courtesy

i know from being around it all my life and from my dad that this industry isnt what it used to be, ...... im sorry to say 

yea i know they are heavy in the top lol, i drove it one night out in wisconsin and my dad had an escalade on the dove tail it was pretty whippy, it kept my hands full i drove for about 20 MI and said screw this and let my dad have it  lol

also in ND i was down to 40 MPH just north of fargo i got caught in a down pour i was going by the lines on the road and all hunched over the steering wheel but i made it through it and i got a big pat on the back and a "good job boy" from my dad when i got through itSmile [:)]

who do you drive for?

  TRX450R ;  Thank you for the good words. For the last 45yrs. I had my own truck , and 25 yrs .ago my bride started runnin' with me after the kids grew up. We havent' been every where , but a lot of places andsaw a lot of things some good and some bad. We pulled the pin ( retired ) in Nov.  I started drivin' in summer  vacation from school when  I was 13 .  Driving in the gravel pit to the grizzly . Then teachin' youngins' how to drive trucks. Movin onto freight , runnin' casual from the local hall.  Then got ( Rattler) of my own ) ~~~ Ya'll take care now. Hope to hear from you again soon .

                Respectfully, Cannonball
