Since my truck has been back on the road, it's been towed 3 times. It's bound to happen again. Last year, experiencing engine difficulties in a little parking area just off Interstate 80, I turned down a $1,000 tow to take me just 3 miles to the nearest service provider. Later in the evening, in the dark, when I was actually stranded out on the Interstate and unable to continue, I gladly paid $400 to a different company for the same tow. I told my story to the insurance agent selling the policy. I asked if her company would have paid the $1,000, and she said she thought they would. I'm not sure I believe that, but I'll be sure to report my real life experience with the newly purchased policy.

...okay then, Tom. My wife will probably need a picture of me with the Truckstock banner and maybe one with us around the campfire. For the group picture, we can park our trucks out on a little rise in the tall grass at sunset. It will be great. I'll bring coffee, you can bring some marshmallows.

Should we invite Morris too, after all it is his place? 🤔 😁
Seriously, I would be in if Morris is up for it. My wife's health is a deterrent but I can work that out.
I checked with my truck and it seems game.

Your truck does look game, Tom. You put a lot of work in--maybe some $$'s too--to get it looking like it does. It looks too like spring has arrived in your part of the world, and the miles and smiles of another driving season can start accumulating.
