Laredo, Tx

Hello,
I've been sitting here in Laredo since Sunday night.
My trailer is on it's way to Mexico City and I got to wait.
There is alot of truck traffic here, I tried to get out of the TA
Monday and it took almost an hour. Gotta love truckin'.

New Tractor

Well, I got My "new" truck on Sept 11th(My personal tragedy on our nations greatest tragedy), My new truck had 46,000 miles on it already.
It's an International Prostar piece of shit!
I don't really care for the thing. There is no storage space, the drivers door leaks when the truck is parked and it's raining.
It has a Cummins 435hp de-nutted to 68mph with an Eaton/Fuller 10 speed.
I pulled a 40,000 lb load on the 12th from Pawpaw Mi. to Pottsville Pa. and it seemed to do ok.

I have some pics of the truck with My Wife & I.
We found it hard to sleep in this truck because We went from a Freightliner Century class with a condo and two bunks to this junk with only one. I am 6' tall and weigh 330lbs. and My wife is no midget either. The company I drive for could have cared less, they pretty much said f--k'em!I think I'll be looking for a new job soon.
Other than this, Shippers, Recievers and the DOT trucking is great!
