Brad,
Welcome to the forum.
You have more than a few of us that work on trucks and trailers. What part of the world are you from? Feel free to ask questions and answer ones that others post when you can. You'll be surprised what you can learn from this site and what we can learn from you. You're right when you say we have a great thing going here, it's like having a neighbor that you can ask for help that doesn't borrow your tools.
I think you'll find us friendly and helpful ,though you'll have to put up with your threads being highjacked and some ball busting now and then, but it's all good.

Brad,
We'll not hold that WV thing against you. We have others here from your area, one from Gassaway comes to mind.
I'm guessing if they haven't fixed I-64 since the last time I was through there that you could stay busy rebuilding trucks and trailers that it beats to death. I used to get down that way when I was still driving but that's been a few years now since I got off the road.
Like I said, feel free to contribute where you can, plenty of young guys come here looking for advice.

Lol believe it or not I get the WV thing often. And the roads, well I think they just gave up. I wish I saved some pictures from a job we just finished so i would have something to show. We added 3 feet of frame to a truck, moved the rear axle back 2 feet, extended the drive shaft, and put a 24 feet box on it. I will have to start saving some pictures and posting them, someone may find them interesting.
