Congrats on being nominated for the Oklahoma Trucker of the Year. Can’t believe you’ve gone 80,000 miles in that truck since Tom and I saw you in October. Glad to hear its still riding well. Good luck at MATS this week!

Wow, that sounds like a pretty decent piece of equipment your driving there Kurt. I owned 2 freightliners but never drove a W900. Those Cascadia’s are sharp! Haven’t driven one of those either. How do you like the inside?

I was hoping that i would get to make it out there to the Trucking show, i don’t think I will though.

See what they are saying about how they think the border crossing at the US/Mexican line will play out. I was wondering would they reinstate the allowed crossing or find another agreement with the Mexican government to ease the taxes they imposed.

Have fun trucking Kurt.

Kurt, can you listen for any and all “buzz” while at the show pertaining to the trucking industry in general in this current economic condition. Since you will have a booth, you are in a prime position to hear what other drivers have to say. Thanks, Barry

hey will glad to see you keeping up with us. your question is a good and lengthy one. for me it’s about running my own business and not having a boss looking over your shoulder. you have to be a self starter. as long as you know and understand you have freight to deliver and pick up that someone has paid for. however being able to see every inch of this country right to left and top to bottom cant be more rewarding. this country is absolutely a very pretty place. hope to hear from you again. kurt

I’m not a trucker but enjoy following you travels. What’s it like to have a life on the road? Since starting to follow you, Dick and Henry, I now know what a Cascadia is and point them out to my wife. This afternoon she accused me of being unfaithful because I scope out every 18 wheeler traveling anywhere near our four wheeler.
