    Running a load of supplies to Houston. XM818

    Would do it all over again now if we had the means. Just gotta source a T case we can afford. Then all will be well. Did talk to a guy who has a slant back HMMWV collecting dust, who wants a deuce a lot. He wants to trade straight up truck for truck. So I hope that works out. Prayers that would...

    Running a load of supplies to Houston. XM818

    Made it to Muskogee OK before sanity said stop for the night. Consecutive 20 hour days came a lot easier 15 odd years ago. Trucks been happy so far. Except for the temp gauge or sending unit crapping out finally. The trooper who pulled us over was really nice. First time in my life a officer...

    Running a load of supplies to Houston. XM818

    So as many of us here have big hearts and like to help other in need, my better half decided that we're running a load to Houston. Year or so ago I put a deuce bed on the truck, so I'm not pulling a big trailer at least. So with barely 2 weeks notice, I've got to get a rig ready for 1400 mile...
