It all depends on the load , some loads pay better than others. we are still eating 3 squares a day ,so were doing good.

Thanks Rickeieio for the insight . DW & I got a good chuckle. Larry, I would use the Pete full time pulling freight and then pull 5th part time it summer and then take the 5th south for the winter and then go back to pulling freight box in the spring .Are their people doing this, and are they using the same 5th wheel or switching them out ?

Hi Folks Iam a lurker also . Iam in a slightly different situation that most that I have read about here ,I already have a 2000 Peterbilt 379 long hood, 230 WB full tandem,that I have put on 1.2 million miles on since I bought it new. I am still using it on the highway but would like to start using it part time or to take long trips with . We do not have a trailer at this time,but have been looking and have found a 2002 Hitch Hiker Premier 38 FT that we like .My concern is will it be to long to move around a camp ground ? i know the Pete does not turn like a Volvo . Are there folks still using HDT for double purpose and how is it working for them? Is a 2002 (1 owner) trailer to old ? Any info would be great, Thanks John
