    Only reason I'm driving truck is to wore out to do construction any more. I'm an architectural millwork carpenter by trade, but, after all the injuries just can't do it any more. Here's a picture of some of my work.

    Once nice thing about being a carpenter your work will be around for a long time. As both rag and dairyman said that is good work.
     
    Pawnd Thanks this.

    Unfortunately because of injuries I can't do the carpentry now, below shoulder height only. Also both hands were badly hurt about 9 years ago and lost a bunch of small motor control for the detailed work.

    Been sitting since Thanksgiving, had applied to lease on with some co's since the broker rates are actually less on average than L/O cos. killing the small guy, keeping the FSC. Makes no sense to me, kill your labor force. They act like there is going to be an endless supply of will work for fuel plus a quarter. Get pissed when you call them on it. Caught mine red handed keeping the FSC on a load when I asked for it. You only lie to me once.
