    You would probably have to work for a local company. Maine is really dead for freight. Mostly lumber, big bottled water and mulch.

    Need to get wife closer to family in Maine so I can keep moving. Pull flatbed now for roehl. Checked out other companies, no one goes up there. Don't want to switch to van.

    Ya I hear ya. I think your stuck. You can work for a local lumber mill or other company but your not going to make what you do with Roehl.

    This is interesting. I do lots of pipe loads up to Williston, ND. Crazy place. I've talked to many young drivers working and living up there and working their ### off. Two of them were from Maine and both had a goal. One was getting ready to leave and head back to Maine. He had $90,000 saved in less then 2 years and was ready to go home and buy a house in full. Since he would have no mortgage payments he could afford to take a local job and be happy. The other guy from Maine was doing the same. I just thought it was so cool for someone that young to be happy making enough money to be happy without stressing out.

    Where do you live in Maine? I had a camp on Long Lake in North Bridgton, ME for over 20 years. Miss picking up fresh muscles once a week.

    I live in Virginia now. I like it there. My daughter grandson and son in law live in China Maine. About 20 miles from waterville. I dont want to move to Maine, too cold. But it is best for my wife.
