Hey Dan (shizats) did you happen to be over near Kelsey's (In Sarnia) on Saturday night or maybe it was Sunday night? I was over there cleaning up snow. I saw a truck that looked just like yours. I actually was admiring it.

That's cool. I honestly watched you get in your truck, start it up and drive away. It was a nice truck (even though it was dark)! Coffee would be great sometime. I think there are a few in our area that could get together. And I CAN still talk trucks even though I drive a Focus.

Ya. I'd love to meet up with others.

Just getting into this whole truck/mechanic thing. Liking it a lot as a hobby!

Thanks for the comments on the truck. Truly appreciated!

Cheers!

duc_grrl,

The Freightliner is a beauty!!! So is your other truck.

I don't think there's anything more appealing than seeing a woman driving a truck...and the bigger the truck the better.

duc_grrl,

Holy nice truck! Looks just like mine before i put the lift on (except for the extended cab). I kind of wish I had got an extended cab like yours now.

The contract will be with Landstar Roadranger out of Wallaceburg -- hauling general freight (van) in south-western USA mostly. The financing is pretty much approved as of Friday, we just have to get a letter from Landstar (today) and dicker about the downpayment and the monthly payments. I'll be teaming with my NEW fiance.

LOL, picked up one of the instructors at my trucking school! He was a Chev guy, but I fixed that -- we're trading the Chev in on the Freightliner and keeping the Ford - naturally ...

It was no easy task but our FTE operatives managed to infiltrate the secret testing ground located deep within Matt's Sarnia Estate and they managed to take this photo of Matt's slightly modified Ford Focus......

He just took the plow off the front but still uses the car to melt snow...
