Where are you

there is that.

It's wonderful country out there for sure.

Spent a spring and fall hauling anhydrous around that part of the country.

 

My nephews who swore up and own they would not do what their Dad did..are rich young men.

 

what did there dad do and what did they do?

 

lol he worked first oil boom

 

Regional --- Drop Deck? Perhaps but I'm getting my proverbial ##### kicked running regional / local Flatbed / Step deck. Some days I'm chaining strapping securing and un-chaining un-strapping and un-securing two to three loads per day and only running on some days as few as 130 - 150 miles . Sure am getting a workout though . Fortunatly I don't carry any tarps, don't need them... nothing stays on the trailer long enough .

If I'm going to run Flatbed then I want to secure the load and then take it about 2,500 miles before I need to climb all over the trailer again.. Getting old here and the body is letting me know every day that it has limitations . BwaHahahahahaha!!

 

I am running an ice box right now just swinging doors.

If I were to run regional step deck, I'd be doing what I can for finding stuff that needed chains and no tarps. Mainly for equipment.

Otherwise, I want to run west of the Mississippi line. Start at Chicago and drop it down and west.

Jeez I want to get back into the mountains.

 

That's what I mainly move around, Equipment / Machinery etc. chains, some straps "no tarps". Good gig actually, Max. time out 2 days maybe twice a month, but the OTR bug is biting me again, or at least 7 western. Here I Gooooo again !!

 

Well stay where your at then, but it truly is for some...a chance of a life time.

 

Perhaps I need to look into that possibility, seems like those jobs would fill up FAST though. How's the turnover? does it grind up and spit out the wannabes? Big $$$ but 80+ hour weeks? 14 hr. shifts etc.

Hmmmmmmm. Sounds kinda like OTR hours with better pay and home time

 

lol you drive a truck from a to b, same thing since invention of the automobile. Seriously how complicated, how cold, how hot....it can only get so much...drive a truck.
