Yesterday at daybreak

Long road lay ahead from Winnemucca, NV to Medford, OR

Once again - my F350 Dually got the job done

Once again - a beautiful day at the office driving a seldom traveled two lane stretch of road

Sooner or later - if you rely on your truck for a living - you are gonna drive a Ford .... :-)

Thanks John !

I will add this one I took a few weeks ago in Fallon, NV ...

Even if I won the lottery I would still drive a first generation Powerstroke 7.3 Diesel Dually ....

My son was an OTR driver for many years, He would send me photo's from all over the US. I think the best ones were of a lift picking up the whole trailer to unload a load of potatoes and another of him backing into a tunnel to load Mushrooms . Not saying there's anything wrong with Fords but my 2006 2500 cummins mopar gets me 20 mpg towing. If I ever need to replace my truck its going to be another mopar. Im still running the original tires and brakes.

Can't beat a 1st gen power stroke. My F550 slide bed tow truck has only 277,000 miles and everything is as it came out of the dealer except hoses and belts. Compare it to the energizer bunny. My bro has a undurable max with nothing but issues from the get go.

just sayin'
