BIG news!








Okay, so I have some news to share. Some of you already know, but most of you probably don't. Several weeks ago I leased my own truck. This has been my goal from the beginning, and it's now a reality. Those of you who follow me on Facebook may have noticed that I haven't bitched about my truck constantly breaking down, and that's why.

I bought a 2013 Kenworth T660, and it's awesome! Granted, I have to pay for the fuel (imagine spending $800.00 every couple days on fuel. Welcome to my world) and any maintenance issues that come up are my responsibility as well. But I got to choose my truck, I have much more freedom now, and I'm making a bit more money than I did before.

From top to bottom:

1. Side view of the cargo box on the side of the truck. Gotta have my Utah logo on there somewhere. And yes, I purposely chose a truck that's red & white. Not gonna spend this kind of money on a blue & white truck.

2. Driver's side of the truck.

3. Front grill. This what you'll see from your rear-view mirror. Interestingly, this windshield has already been replaced (at about 4,000 miles). Stupid rock chips.

4. Overall view from the driver's seat.

5. Closer view of the dashboard. My Qualcomm/GPS is the box mounted on the right.

6. It's the view behind the wheel. I think it's probably obvious.

7. Look at the odometer. Yeah, it only had 19 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. Well over 15,000 miles now.

So, there you go. If you see me on the road, honk & wave!
