    ...but not glass. :biggrin_25513:

    Heavy haul...here I come...again. :biggrin_25519:

    I'll kinda miss the home time, but I look forward to making that $$$ again. My youngest kid starts school next month...him being born was the reason I left heavy haul nearly 5 years ago...

    Now I gotta go back so I can afford his schoolin, LOL...

    I don't reckon I have much of a following on here, but I thought I'd throw it out there for the 1 or 2 of you that may find it interesting. :biggrin_25525:

    And its not set in stone yet....I'll know for sure in a day or 2.

    Good luck to you! I'm sure there's quite a few folks that would be interested in seeing how this all works out for you.

    Thanks guys!

    Its official now...I'm baaaaack. :yes2557:

    List of things I need to get....

    A printer...so I can have permits emailed to me and print them in the truck (at least I hope they'll do it that way...faxes are expensive)
    Ink for the printer
    Refrigerator...since I'll be living in the truck again.
    Microwave...
    That should do it for now...

    I was told in plain English that because of where I live there are "no promises" on what my home time will be like...I expected that, it was the same before...I usually stayed out 4-6 weeks...sometimes longer.

    The accounts are different now so I'm sure the running will be different too...I won't go into the details of the accounts we have on here, but they were explained to me very clearly.

    I'm excited...glad to be back...my best (most enjoyable) years in a truck were spent doing this stuff. But as the guy I'm replacing would probably tell you...its not for everybody (the lack of home time is more than most are willing to accept)

    Used to run a seven axle lowboy. Has its good points and bad made some #### good money. My favorite saying is if you can eat it I will not haul it.

    Ridgerunner keep us posted. I like hearing about specialized freight hauling. If you can throw in some pictures. Being from Pittsburgh all I see of Maverick is their regular flatbed and glass haulers. Be neat to see what they do in their specialized division.
