    How'd that happen? :)
    Where you at? Try Landstar, there's a couple loads upstate. :)
    200 miles surrounding Newbury if that's the area you're at. 8 loads, one going to TN the rest to NY..and I don't think you want to go there. :)

    Just FYI. If you don’t have a bucket or attachment you should always back uphill with a skid steer. They have a ton of weight on the back without an attachment.

    also maybe some ramps line these would be helpful. I carry a set with me.

    Still learning. I will try going backwards next time I load. Those ramps is basically what I built with my hodgepodge collection of hardwood boards. It works for what it is. Unloading went much smoother than loading so we're making progress lol

    I was gonna ask u , u ever pull out of the military base in yuma az? Was debating on doing a short load out of there but my limited experience with military bases have been painful. But i see alot of loads posted out of there that could keep me close to the house

    I’ve been in several military bases. Never had an issue.

    The ones i been too. Took more than an hour just to get in the front gate. Then always get lost because theres never any signs or marked buildings and the directions from the guards are sometimes worse than getting directions a jobsite. Maybe just had bad luck.

    Yeah, if you've ever been in the military, you'd understand the 'hurry up and wait' lifestyle. :)
