Thanks Tracey, I appreciate your thoughts, and will try to continue to update my progress. I am on hometime these next couple of days, and taking care of some business like swapping over my CDL to my home state, taking the Hazmat endorsement, applying for my passport, and purchasing some ... better things for the truck.
More on all that tomorrow, so stay tuned !
