    What do you do for Work?

    Very true, but it pays quite handsomely and the benefits are almost ridiculous. Plus, it surely beats the hell outa running over-the-road. I've done my fair share of that. I enjoy sleeping in my own bed each night and having my weekends off (most of the time).

    What do you do for Work?

    I couldn't agree more. We do mostly 12's, and we pull a lot of mandatory Saturdays, so we often get close to the 70 hour-per-week limit for truck drivers. Toyota takes very good care of us, though. No complaints.

    What do you do for Work?

    I load and unload them. Takes some getting used to, but like everything else, it becomes second nature after a while. Took me some extra time, because I also have a fear of heights. I swore I was gonna quit every single day for the first couple years. Eventually, I realized I'd already taken a...

    2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road - Cement

    On the upside of things... I haven't actually taken delivery of the new ride yet, but here's a couple sneak-peeks of it when it landed in our yard on Sunday. I wanted to be the one who delivered it to the dealer once it came off the train, but I already had my loads dispatched for Monday, and...

    2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road - Cement

    I'm not sure where you live, but where I grew up, they stick and squeal for the first 5 stops of the day during the humid summer mornings. And, if you get them wet in the winter, they freeze up once they cool after you park. No thanks. Even class 8 trucks (semi tractor/trailer) manufacturers...

    2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road - Cement

    Well, we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. lol I grew up riding dirt bikes in the woods and fields around central Illinois. There was nothing worse than crossing a creek and then not having brakes for the next 10 minutes. I never knew just how awful it actually was til one of my buddies...

    2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road - Cement

    It’s almost worthless, though. It barely moves in any direction, which is one of my 3 complaints about the Tacoma. Toyota really needs to work on that. Especially, considering the 4Runner and Tundra have very good steering columns, with lots of adjustability.

    2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road - Cement

    I have several gripes, but I bought one anyway. First and foremost... drum brakes at the rear wheels. There's just no excuse for drum brakes on anything in this day and age. The tilt/telescope steering column may as well be fixed, since it barely moves an inch in any direction. It's almost...

    I have one identical to this on order. It was built last week, so I'm hoping to take delivery of it within the next few weeks. I'll post a pic or 3 when that happens.
