I found a guy that was need ing a driver hauling sand and gravel to a concrete plant this guy was very understanding let me work and do what I thought I could do but I finally had to quit and stay at home again . now I am driving a school bus feels good but still miss the large cars last truck I drove was a 1994 Frtliner set back axle with 450 60 series Detroit with 15 spd over drive with 4:11's top end with a 52'000 lb payload was 98 mph uphill downhill now that is trailer trucking
