In Need of a New Work Truck?

When it comes to needing a good work vehicle, it is really hard to top the pickup truck. In the rugged Texas environment, a pickup is really the end-all be-all, because most people that are working in Texas are working in the oilfield. Most oilfield sites are located a ways from any main roads. That means that you’re going to have to have a vehicle that is high off the ground and is able to traverse these back country roads. There are several obvious reasons a small compact car won’t safely make it down some of these rugged roads. That’s why the pickup is the best work truck, you’re able to get to and from a worksite safely. There are of course other reasons why the pickup is king as a work vehicle in Texas.

Plenty of Cargo Space

Another important aspect of the work truck is the amount of cargo space it has. You have a variety of tools and equipment that you or your crew need to carry around with you to get the job done. If you throw these tools and equipment in the back of an SUV, you’re going to totally destroy the interior that is not an option. The bed of a pickup truck is designed specifically to haul stuff and offers easy access to the dirty, grimy, and greasy tools that you need in your trade. And because of the suspension that is available on most pickup trucks, you’ll be able to haul a heavy load; definitely, a much heavier load than you would ever be able to haul with a car or SUV.

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...
