    Never driven for them but hauled plenty of loads for them and they LOVE to max out the weight on EVERY load! Sometimes is just nice to have a feather light load rather than pulling that heavy #### day in day out.
     
    mje Thanks this.

    Ok I appreciate the response. I was wondering if you stayed long periods of time out or if you had some decent time at home?
