Hey Jack, sorry for the delayed response.
Yeah, it's tough out there right now. I've been lucky so far, but the Peterbilt dealership across the street from where I work has laid off 6 guys in the last 6 months, and last week, for probably 3 days straight, there was only one truck in the shop. One guy working, 2 others standing around humping the pooch, or washing floors, or sweeping the parking lot, anything to keep getting paid. And, that's after they already have 2 guys on holidays and sent 2 more home for the day.
It might be an idea to take your contacts and become a small business owner by way of mobile service. As long as you have a truck with a service body on it...

Did you see the notice at the top of the page? The site will be down for maintenance starting tonight.
Just guessing here, but it might look totally different when it comes back up.....

Didn't do anything to my truck cause i aint home with it but i did clean the headlight on his wives mustang and washed it. Never know how much you miss your truck till you aint with it and can't drive it.
