I was wondering what those things were. I've been seeing a few here and there on the highway on my way to work. If it weren't for the big hole in the back, I was thinking they were some type of camper. I guess now I know, sort of. Maybe I even saw your truck...who knows?

My husband is now escorting oversize. Lost his CDL to his heart condition but wanted to stay in the industry he knows and loves. So at the tender age of 67, he started his own pilot car business.

Shame you're out of it now Cooper. You could have given him a shout when/if you were in the area.

If you pm me I can get hhim info to sign up at a good place. They do a lot of wind loads. Too bad he lost his license. You need a cdl to be a steer man.

That's what is nice about managing this company. If I get a wild hair to drive a truck it's in the yard. I'd rather just help a guy load or unload.
