    They used to do some Regional type oversize work. Not sure how much they do anymore.
    Certain customers only.....had to live with-in so many miles of the customer, etc.

    The rgn fleet runs the entire lower 48. Pickup alot of shipping crates from newport news VA, tractors equipment. And buildings out of iron mt. MI. The buildings pay the most and I've taken them into Canada, to cali miami all over. They past reagionalizd stuff.
    I left because I couldnt get home when I wanted to it was always a fight the last 4 months were horrid. We lost a few contracts that dealt with O.D. so guys werent making money and quit. Mind you the rgn fleet is a whopping 15 out of 2500

    The old man was right...... I ordered a new bumper a few weeks ago. I got into a really tight spot, and a stack of steel tubing had one stick in the middle pushed out. I didnt see it but then again i should have gottwn out. It was a 1k mistake. I payed for a new bumper myself. No way i make my boss pay for somthing he or anyone else didn't screw up.

    For a few months this past summer i got into a 280in wb classic XL from only driving set back axles. Got used to it in no time. Hardest part was backing trying to get back under it in tight docks. Wiggle wiggle and wiggle some more

    I drive a long wheelbase hood. One thing I do if it's tight and cluttered (which it is mostly) is put my seat way up and forward before going in, helps me see the "invisible" stuff.
