    Nice to be able to just do the fun stuff, putting on the bling. Looks really nice Martin. Ya white lights are not as good as the amber or a red light. White lights are good for inside the refrigerator door. Ya know as I sit back and watch I count three tractors. I see a new home and all your toys. Plus I see the tractors not moving out of the driveway. So that kind of tells me you guys did everything right. Some people doubted that you guys where doing the wrong thing. Now look who’s smiling, Trucking Together, Alice and Martin ya pulled in off in style. Great to see you guys in such a great position. Three tractors and not one is being pushed out the drive way and has to be forced back to work. Many out there are losing there’s and yours are parked in your driveway. Congrats guys….Have a great and a safe day. Happy trails to you, D…

Martin and Alice are pulling van trailers which covers open wheels with quarter fenders, i do appreciate Martin for putting fenders on his van trailer in previous video. From Manitoba Canada
