    By the way with the astronomical increase in the cost of living up there I don't think its worth the hassel.

    It's not....You ought to see those people up there living in their trucks in all of the filth and mud!
    It's pathetic!
    But it's nice to see them up their and not out here driving freight rates down for the rest of us.

    If you want to destroy your equipment and have not too much to show for it....N.D. is the place to go.

    I like this statement right here because it scares people away and keeps the rates up. Really its not true and while I think that you have a lot of wisdom to share it mostly about highway trucking where most of you guys need to stay. There is alot of opportunity in ND but you have to be able to drive off road and not tear up your equipment and really there are few locations up here that you have to get farther than 8 or 10 mile off the highway on fairly good county roads. I've moved drilling rigs in Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Wyoming where that you left the highway put your chains on and fought 80 miles into a location it might take 8 or 10 hours to make that 80 miles it not like that up here. Anyway if you can hold it together and find somewhere to live there is lots of money to be made up here. To the OP I will PM you my Email Address and some info because I'm interested in putting on some OO's to pull my trailers.

    I hope you find something. Not sure what he wants/does, or where Williston is, but I know Dakota Vally out of Yankton,SD and maybe Admiral Merchants out of Mpls, MN might be of some interest. Admiral is an Agent based company meaning Admiral itself has no freight, the agents that contract with the company does. The agents are all over the US. Dakota Valley has Co. drivers and O/O. The have Van and Flat, SD, RGN, ect. The just bought not too many years ago a place in ND some where on the west side. I can't remember if it's Fargo area or not. Hope this helps. If you want more info let me know.

    She is talking oil field here not OTR freight hauling. She said in here post's he left his flatbed at home. I wished he would have done his homework before driving up their but he is just going to have to get out and start asking other drivers up their and start knocking on doors.
