drove the sterling

So I found out that whithin the next month or 2 I'll be a boom operator with my own Sterling. As life would happen to have it the guy teaching me, we seperated a hose so had to use my future truck. It only a 8 speed but it is a full tandem.
But Sterling are kinda cheaply built nothing too impressive bout them.

But I'm not really sure because there is a operator that uisually uses it but he's in Hawaii so I'm not sure if they're running him out or what.

Not wth my work ethic. It's curious why they have soo many good hiding spots in the Kenroc yard.

Have you carried gyp-roc? It is a material not meant to be carried by people.
I bought a Star today I saw 6 local jobs envolving trucking that i could get within minutes (not said to be cocky but it is true), so why not be pcky? lol

Driving is good but carrying gyp-roc can suck, it`s not like waching a load of cattle walk off the trailer.....

I dont care much for the sterling trucks either. Compared to the K/W I usually drive the sterling sucks.

If you dont care for it much Ryan, I would get out sooner then later, why waste your time!

I still say go and get your own truck, that would kick ***.

kick ***, but sink you deep in the hole unless you get something pretty new. my uncle found out the hard trying to run owner/operator for maritime ontario... he couldn't afford new equipment and the stuff he could get had been through the ringer and was constantly broke down.

Break downs, down time and repair bills can put you out in a hurry.

There is always cons to go with the pros, just gotta look and see if the pros outweigh the cons I guess.
